About

Bad Forest is a 5yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Beau Gorman. He is out of the mare Sugar Sizzle and by the stallion Kobayashi. To date, he has recorded two wins in his career. His most notable victory came on 30 May 2024 at Ipswich, where he captured the $30,000 Maiden Handicap. Punters have found him to be a lucrative prospect; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 146% return on investment.
