About

Better Be Nordy is a 6yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Robert Heathcote of Eagle Farm. He is by Better Than Ready out of Miss Le Nord and has tallied four wins in his career. On 10 Aug 2024 at Sunshine Coast, he earned his most notable victory in the $75,000 Benchmark 68 Handicap. The horse has been profitable for bettors; staking on him throughout his career would have produced an 85% return on investment.
