About
Ariat, a 6yo bay or brown mare from Australia, is trained by Anthony Freeman. She is by Kobayashi out of Expresso Bay. To date she has secured seven wins, including a standout victory on 28 Jan 2026 at Eagle Farm in the $38,000 Bm65 Handicap, the biggest of her career. Punters have found her profitable; backing her throughout would yield a 16% ROI.
