About
Empirical, a 4yo brown gelding trained by S Ramsay and J Ritchie in Matamata, runs in the Taupo R8 Charyn – World Champion Miler (Bm65). He is by the stallion Eminent out of the dam Pink Bubbles. So far he has secured one win. His most notable triumph came on 2 Nov 2025 at Woodville, where he captured the $18500.00 3yo Maiden Set Weight. Punters have found him rewarding; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 137% return on investment.
