About
Call Him Iggy is a 6yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Mathew Smerdon in Ballarat. He is by Ribchester out of Bana Wu and has recorded four career victories. On 1 Mar 2025 at Wangaratta he captured his biggest triumph, winning the $75,000 3yo+ Benchmark 70 Handicap. The horse has been a rewarding option for bettors; a lifelong backer would have realized a 72% return on investment.
