About
Sunshine Ale, a 5yo chestnut mare, is trained by Guy Lowry and Leah Zydenbos in Hastings. She is by Telperion out of Red Carpet. To date she has secured two victories. Her most notable triumph came on 16 Nov 2025 at Waipukurau, where she won the $18500.00 Benchmark 65 Handicap. The horse has been a lucrative selection for bettors; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 150% return on investment.
