About

Twain, a 6yo brown gelding trained by John W Bell in Cambridge, contested the Te Rapa R7 Waikato Stud Foxbridge Plate. He is by the stallion Per Incanto out of Fleur De Lune. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $251,738, he is considered above‑average. On 12 Oct 2025 at Arawa Park, ridden by Vinnie Colgan, Twain secured his biggest victory, claiming the $140,000 Open Weight For Age against Midnight Edition. He has been a lucrative choice for bettors, delivering a 16% return on investment for those who backed him throughout his career.
