About
Ariat, a 6yo bay or brown filly from Australia, is trained by Anthony Freeman in Biddeston. She is by the stallion Kobayashi out of the dam Expresso Bay and has secured seven career victories. On 28 Jan 2026 at Eagle Farm she captured her biggest triumph, winning the $38,000.00 Bm65 Handicap. Throughout her run she has been a value pick for bettors; backing her over her career would have yielded a 47% return on investment.
