About

Not So Unusual is a 5yo chestnut mare trained by Fraser Auret. She is by Unusual Suspect out of Highland Rose. So far she has secured two wins. On 9 Jan 2026 at Otaki she earned her most valuable triumph, taking the $18500.00 Benchmark 65 Handicap. She has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 49% return on investment.
