Russian To The Bar (AUS) Horse
About
Russian To The Bar is a 5yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Luke Fernie at Ascot. He is by Russian Revolution out of Rosie Rocket. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $329,970, he is regarded as a horse of above‑average ability. On 2nd Mar 2024 at Ascot, ridden by Chris Parnham, he claimed his most significant victory to date in the $125,000 3yo C&G Open Set Weight With Penalties, beating A Lot Of Good Men. He has consistently been a profitable runner for punters, and backing him throughout his career would have produced a 26% return on investment.
