About

Dragonflies, an 11yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by Dennis Couper. He is by the stallion Squamosa out of Dragon Maiden. To date he has recorded three wins. On 6 Sep 2025 at Junction he claimed his biggest victory, taking the $18,000 prize in the 3yo+ Benchmark 56+ Handicap. The horse has been a money‑maker for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 52% ROI.
