About
Compressing is a 5yo bay or brown gelding trained by Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young at Cranbourne. He is by Savabeel out of Joyous Thunder. To date he has won two races. On 4 Apr 2025 at Cranbourne he captured his biggest victory, claiming the $40,000 3yo+ Benchmark 64 Handicap. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 25% return on investment.
