About

Sporting Chance is a 7yo bay gelding (male) from Australia trained by Jack Bruce, who is based at Deagon. He is sired by the stallion Dundeel out of the dam Impossibly. Sporting Chance has managed to win 5 races in his career so far. On 24th Aug 2024 at Te Rapa, Sporting Chance scored his most significant win to date, getting the money in the $40000.00 Benchmark 75 Handicap. He has proven a profitable horse for the punters over the journey. If you had backed Sporting Chance throughout his career you'd have achieved a 63% return on investment.
