About
Before The War is a 5yo chestnut gelding (male) from Australia trained by John & Chris Ledger. He is by Russian Revolution out of Lady Antebellum. To date he has recorded five wins. On 20 April 2026 at Wodonga he secured his biggest victory, earning $27,000 in the Bm62 Handicap. He has been a profitable prospect for bettors; backing him throughout his career would yield a 37% return on investment.
