About
Eight Under is a 5yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Mathew Smerdon. He is by Spieth out of Silk Belt. To date he has claimed two victories. On 25 May 2025 at Mildura he secured his biggest win, collecting the $27,000.00 0-58 handicap. Punters have found him to be a money-maker; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 58% ROI.
