About
Brief Authority, a 3yo chestnut gelding from Australia, is trained by Matthew Dunn. He is by the stallion Anders out of Shorthand. To date he has recorded a single victory, the most notable being the $30,000 Country Boosted Maiden Plate at Grafton on 21 Sep 2026. Punters have found him profitable; backing his entire career would have yielded a 13% ROI.
