About
Simply, a 5yo brown gelding from Australia trained by Grant & Alana Williams at Karnup, is by Domesday out of Canny Lassie. A stakes winner with $391,355 in earnings, he is considered above‑average. On 22 Nov 2025 at Ascot, ridden by Fred Kersley, he captured his biggest victory in the $125,000 A.J. Scahill Cup, beating Captain Pluto. Punters have found him profitable; a bettor who backed him throughout would have earned a 29% return on investment.
