About
The Prodigal Son is a 6yo brown or black Australian gelding trained by Craig Widdison. His sire is Fighting Sun and his dam is Magnetic Magic. To date he has recorded six victories. On 2 May 2024 at Wagga he secured his biggest triumph, winning the $200,000 Open Quality. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 45% return on investment.
