About
Sam's Reward is a 6yo bay gelding from Australia under the training of Nikki Gordon. He is by the stallion Valentia out of Cassi Girl. To date he has secured one victory, which came on 4 Dec 2024 at Balaklava when he captured the $25,000 3yo+ Maiden Set Weight. The horse has delivered profit for bettors, offering a 24% return on investment for those who backed him throughout his career.
