About

Eight Pence is a 4yo bay gelding trained by Lance Robinson at Riccarton Park. He is by Swiss Ace out of Maravilla and has recorded two career victories. On 12 Nov 2025 at Riccarton Park, he claimed his biggest win to date, taking the $65,000 3yo+ Maiden Set Weight With Allowances. The horse has been a lucrative option for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 186% return on investment.
