About
Big Bear Hug is a 7yo gelding trained by J R Boyle, Epsom. He is by the stallion Belardo out of the mare Silkenveil. To date he has won five races. On 7 June 2025 at Goodwood he recorded his most important victory, taking the $12,444.00 Class 4 handicap. The horse has been a profit‑generating pick for punters; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 40% return on investment.
