About
Ariat, a 7yo bay or brown mare from Australia, is trained by Anthony Freeman of Biddeston. She is by the stallion Kobayashi out of the dam Expresso Bay and has secured eight career victories. On 28 Jan 2026 at Eagle Farm she claimed her biggest triumph, winning the $38,000.00 Bm65 Handicap. Throughout her career she has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing her from the start would have yielded a 41% return on investment.
