Mercurial (2018) Horse
About
Mercurial is a 7yo bay gelding trained by Stephen Marsh, who is based at Cambridge. He is by the stallion Burgundy out of the dam Roxette. After a Group One victory and $548,645 in career earnings, Mercurial is seen as an elite racehorse. On 13 Jan 2024 at Trentham, Sam Spratt rode him to his biggest win, taking the $450,000 Open Weight For Age and beating Express Yourself. He has proven to be a profitable pick for punters, offering roughly a 1% return on investment for those who backed him throughout his career.
