About

Duke Of Bedford is a 7yo bay/brown gelding trained by Andrew Bobbin. He is out of the dam Miralago and sired by Tavistock. So far he has recorded eight wins. On 1 May 2025 at Warrnambool he secured his most important triumph, taking the $350,000 Steeple Handicap. He has proved a profitable runner for punters – a career‑long backing would have returned about 115% on the investment.
