About
Protectionism is a 4yo bay mare from Australia trained by Brett & Georgie Cavanough. She is by American Pharoah out of Godiva Rock. To date she has recorded one victory, the most notable coming on 7 Feb 2026 at Gilgandra where she won the $16,000 Maiden Hcp. Punters have found her to be a rewarding prospect; backing her throughout her career would have delivered a 200% ROI.
