Afternoon Siesta (AUS) Horse
About
Afternoon Siesta is a 5yo bay/brown mare from Australia trained by John Bary. She is out of Princess Snooze and by Shamus Award. She has recorded two wins so far. On 10 Dec 2025 at Tauherenikau she secured her biggest triumph, taking the $25,000 Benchmark 65 Handicap. The horse has proved rewarding for punters; a full‑career backing would have delivered a 40% return on investment.
