About

Bravo Centurion is a 5yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Luke Fernie at Ascot. He is by National Defense out of Comme Ca. As a stakes winner with $303,710 in earnings, he is considered a racehorse of above‑average ability. On 2 Nov 2024 at Ascot, Chris Parnham rode him to his biggest victory, claiming the $200,000 3yo+ Open Weight‑for‑Age race over Saloon Bar. He has been a profitable runner for bettors, delivering a 13% return on investment for those who backed him throughout his career.
