About
Beskar is a 4yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Anthony & Sam Freedman in Cranbourne. He is by Snitzel out of Sword of Light. As a stakes winner with $313,975 in earnings, he is considered a horse of above‑average talent. On 11 Apr 2026 at Randwick, Damian Lane rode him to his biggest victory, capturing the $200,000 South Pacific Stakes over Mareth. He has consistently delivered value to bettors, and a career‑long backing would have generated a 632% ROI.
