Cryptic Clue (AUS) Horse
About
Cryptic Clue, a 6yo bay gelding from Australia, runs in the Yarra Valley R6 XPOWER BM56 Handicap and is trained by Matthew Brown of Cranbourne. He is out of the stallion All Too Hard and the mare Very Puzzling. So far he has achieved three wins, with his biggest victory coming on 17 Aug 2023 at Seymour, where he took the $37500.00 Maiden Set Weight. Punters have found him rewarding; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 148% return on investment.
