About
Applaud, a 4yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Peter Snowden, is by Deep Field out of Secret Liaison. He has recorded four wins in his career. On 22 November 2025 at Kembla Grange, he captured his biggest triumph, the $160,000 Cg&e Bm 78 Handicap. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 190% return on investment.
