About

Book Launch is an 8yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Kieran O'Brien in Terang. He is by the stallion Smart Missile out of the dam Novel Dancer. He has recorded a single win in his career. His most significant triumph occurred on 20th Dec 2022 at Terang, when he secured the $27,000.00 Maiden Plate. The horse has proved a profitable selection for punters; backing him throughout his career would have generated a 116% return on investment.
