About
Contemplation Bay is a 6yo bay mare trained by Terri Rae at Riccarton Park. Her sire is Rageese and her dam is Ysabella Brave. She has won six races to date. On 20 Feb 2026 at Ashburton, she secured her biggest victory, winning the $50,000 Open Handicap. She has been a profitable runner for bettors over time. Backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 6% return on investment.
