About
Space Rider is a 3yo bay colt from Australia, trained by Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr in Cranbourne. He is by the stallion Zoustar out of the dam Fuddle Dee Duddle. As a stakes winner with $301,900 in career earnings, he is viewed as a horse of above‑average ability. On 24 January 2026 at Caulfield, ridden by Ethan Brown, he secured his most notable victory in the $200,000 Manfred Stakes, beating Job Done. He has proven to be a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 343% return on investment.
