About
The Entertainer is a 6yo bay mare trained by Bill Thurlow of Waverley. She is by the stallion Staphanos out of Wahaha. To date she has recorded five victories. Her biggest triumph came on 16 Nov 2024 at Riccarton Park, where she captured the $65,000 Benchmark 75 Handicap. Punters have found her a valuable selection; backing her throughout her career would have produced a 30% return on investment.
