About
Empirical is a 4yo brown gelding trained by S Ramsay and J Ritchie in Matamata. He is by the stallion Eminent out of the mare Pink Bubbles. He has won two races so far. On 2 Nov 2025 at Woodville he captured his most significant win, taking the $18,500 3yo Maiden Set Weight. He has been a profitable horse for punters; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 63% return on investment.
