Driving Force (AUS)
About
Driving Force is an 8yo brown gelding from Australia, trained by Darren Hyde of Dubbo. He is by Artie Schiller out of Raging Squall. To date he has recorded six wins. His biggest victory came on 13 Mar 2022 at Coonamble, where he captured the $40,000 3yo&up Country Maiden Plate. Punters have found him to be a money‑maker; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 47% return on investment.
