About
No Other Choice is a 5yo brown gelding from Australia trained by Caspar Fownes. He descends from sire Shamus Award and dam Tahlio. To date he has recorded a single victory. On 9 Sep 2026 at Happy Valley he captured his biggest triumph, winning the $875000.00 Class 5 Handicap. The horse has been a money‑maker for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 206% return on investment.
