About
Exaggeration is a 4yo brown gelding trained by Kevin & Stephen Gray at Copper Belt Lodge, Palmerston North. He is by Embellish out of Classic Belt. To date he has won 3 races. His biggest triumph came on 24 Aug 2025 at Awapuni Synthetic, where he captured the $40000.00 Benchmark 75 Handicap. He has been a money‑maker for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded an 8% return on investment.
