About

Surfin' Bird is a 4yo bay mare from Australia, trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott. She is sired by The Autumn Sun out of the dam Summer Surf. She has accumulated four career victories. On 15th Oct 2025 at Caulfield, she secured her most notable win, the $130000.00 3yo+ Benchmark 70 Handicap. The filly has proved a profitable choice for punters; if you had backed her throughout her career you would have earned a 272% return on investment.
