Early Fusion (AUS) Horse
About
Early Fusion is a 5yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Ricky Vale in Rockhampton. He is by the stallion Headwater out of the dam Pfeiffer. To date, Early Fusion has collected eight wins. On 26 July 2024 at Mackay, he notched his most important victory, winning the $32,000 Maiden Set Weight. He has proved a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 32% return on investment.
