About
Play It Again Sam is a 4yo bay gelding trained by Barbara Kennedy at Byerley Park. He is by the stallion Savabeel out of Cutting Remark. To date he has won two races. On 1 April 2026 at Pukekohe Park he secured his biggest victory, taking the $25000.00 Benchmark 65 Handicap. The horse has been a profitable choice for bettors; a lifetime backing would have yielded a 51% return on investment.
