About
Take A Pick is a 6yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Sarah Rutten. He descends from sire Lucas Cranach and dam Self Portrait. To date he has claimed three victories. His most notable triumph came on 29 Jul 2025 at Swan Hill, winning the $27,000 Bm64 Hcp. The horse has been a money‑maker for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 42% ROI.
