Accidental Tourist (2019)
About
Accidental Tourist is a 6yo bay gelding trained by Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson in Matamata. He is by the stallion Telperion out of the mare Megara. To date, he has recorded four wins. On 3 June 2023 at Wanganui, he captured his biggest victory, taking the $30,000 Open Set Weight With Penalties. The horse has consistently delivered value for bettors, and a backer who backed him throughout his career would have earned about a 7% return on investment.
