About
Ambushed is a 4yo bay or brown mare from Australia, trained by Craig Stewart in Millicent. She is by Sharkbite out of Fox On the Run. To date she has recorded one victory. On 8 February 2026 at Naracoorte she captured her biggest win, the $19,500 3-up Maiden Plate. She has been a money-maker for bettors; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 24% ROI.
