About
Sunshine Ale is a 4yo chestnut mare trained by Guy Lowry and Leah Zydenbos in Hastings. She is by Telperion out of Red Carpet. To date she has won two races, including her biggest victory on 16 Nov 2025 at Waipukurau in the $18,500 Benchmark 65 Handicap. Punters have found her lucrative; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 306% ROI.
