About
Shropshire Lad is a 4yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Rodney Northam in Scone. He is by Supido out of Bella Sorpresa. He has recorded three wins so far, highlighted by his most important victory on 19 July 2025 at Rosehill Gardens, where he captured the $120,000 Highway Class 2 Handicap. The horse has proved profitable for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 34% return on investment.
