About

Complete Fiction is an 8yo b trained by J P Fahey. It is by the stallion Make Believe out of the dam Purple Tigress. The horse has won 4 races so far in its career. On 25 Aug 2024 at Naas, it captured its most important win, earning $7,260.00 in the Hartes Group Apprentice Handicap (Div 2). It has been a rewarding prospect for bettors, and backing it throughout its career would have produced an 11% return on investment.
