About

Read About It is a 4yo brown gelding trained by Robbie Patterson. He is by the stallion Wrote out of the mare Diggilou. As a stakes winner with $90,171 in earnings, he is considered a racehorse of above‑average ability. On 31st Aug 2024 at Wanganui, Craig Grylls rode him to his most important victory, capturing the $80,000.00 3yo Open Set Weight and beating Unbridged Joy. He has consistently provided value to bettors, and backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 10% return on investment.
