About

Merrilegs, a 3yo bay filly trained by Peter & Trent Didham at Awapuni, is out of the dam Mitsuki and by the stallion Ribchester. She has recorded one victory, the most notable being on 9 Nov 2025 at Tauherenikau where she won the $18,500 3yo+ Maiden Set Weight With Allowances. Throughout her career she has been a solid money‑maker for bettors; backing her from the start would have yielded an 88% return on investment.
