The Real Thing (AUS) Horse
About
The Real Thing is a 6yo chestnut gelding (male) from Australia trained by Tony Comerford, who is based at Townsville. He is sired by the stallion Real Impact out of the dam Peristrophe. The Real Thing has managed to win 3 races in his career so far. On 11th May 2022 at Sandown Hillside, The Real Thing scored his most significant win to date, getting the money in the $50000.00 Super Vobis 2-y-o Plte. He has proven a profitable horse for the punters over the journey. If you had backed The Real Thing throughout his career you'd have achieved a 30% return on investment.
