Brave Action (AUS)
About
Brave Action is a 5yo bay/brown gelding from Australia, trained by Justin Pickering. He is by Brave Smash out of Danseuse. To date he has recorded four wins. On 8 June 2025 at Swan Hill he captured his biggest victory, taking the $50,000 Benchmark 70 Handicap. The horse has been a solid money‑maker for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 127% return on investment.
