About
Simply is a 5yo brown gelding (male) from Australia trained by Grant & Alana Williams, who is based at Karnup. He is sired by the stallion Domesday out of the dam Canny Lassie. Given that he is a stakes winner and has amassed $384,130 in career earnings, Simply is regarded as a racehorse with above-average ability. On 22nd Nov 2025 at Ascot, Simply was ridden by Fred Kersley and scored his most significant win to date, getting the money in the $125000.00 A.j. Scahill Cup, defeating Captain Pluto. He has proven a profitable horse for the punters over the journey. If you had backed Simply throughout his career you'd have achieved a 43% return on investment.
