About

Don't Russia is a 4yo chestnut mare from Australia trained by Craig Blackshaw of Pakenham. She is by Russian Revolution out of the dam Kahlo. So far she has secured three wins. Her biggest victory arrived on 8 Oct 2025 at Sale, where she claimed the $35,000 3yo+ Benchmark 66 Handicap. She has been a profitable runner for punters; backing her throughout her career would have delivered a 357% return on investment.
