About
Bird's The Word is a 7yo brown gelding from Australia under the training of Charlotte Skerritt. He is by the stallion Galah out of Wise Talk. To date he has captured ten victories. On 29 June 2024 at Belmont he earned his biggest triumph, winning the $100,000 4yo+ Benchmark 58+ Handicap. He has consistently delivered profit for bettors, and a career‑long backing would have yielded a 165% return on investment.
