About

Showies Best Shot, a 7yo grey‑brown mare from Australia, is trained by John and Chris Ledger of Wangaratta1. She is out of the dam Carnival Dynasty and by the sire Master Of Design. To date she has secured six victories, the most notable being the $35,000 Benchmark 58 Handicap at Bendigo on 14Sep2023. The horse has consistently delivered value to bettors; a full‑career backing would have generated an 83% return on investment.
