About
Spindleberry is an 8yo mare trained by W P Mullins from Carlow. She is by Policy Maker out of Sapphire Rouge. She has won 7 races so far. On 20th Apr 2025 at Fairyhouse she secured her biggest triumph, taking the $99,999.00 Cl1. The horse has consistently been profitable for punters, and backing Spindleberry throughout her career would have delivered a 35% return on investment.
