About
Skin In The Game is a 5yo chestnut gelding from Australia, trained by Brendan McShane at Broadmarsh. He is by Turffontein out of Miss Amigo. He has secured six career wins, highlighted by a victory on 14 December 2025 at Hobart, earning the $29,000 Class 4 prize. Punters have found him profitable; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 96% return on investment.
