About

Bit Of A Rebel is a 7yo bay gelding from Australia trained by David Jolly and Justin Potter. He is by Rebel Raider out of Pick O' the Bunch. So far he has collected five wins. His most notable triumph came on 19 Oct 2025 at Mindarie Halidon, winning the $40,000 Benchmark 70 Handicap. He’s been a profitable runner for punters; betting on him throughout his career would have produced a 29% return on investment.
