The Big Picture (2018) Horse
About
The Big Picture is a 7yo bay gelding trained by Bill and Sam Thurlow together with O'Malley in Waverley. He is by Proisir out of Palin. To date he has captured two victories, the most noteworthy being the $40,000 Benchmark 65 Handicap at Trentham on 4 Jan 2025. The horse has consistently delivered value for bettors; backing him throughout his career would generate a 75% return on investment.
