About

Executive Decision is a 4yo bay gelding (male) from Australia, trained by Mark Cross. He is by Hallowed Crown out of Stradance and has secured three wins in his career. On 1 May 2025 at Wyong he recorded his most important victory, taking the $42,000 Ch&g Benchmark 64 Handicap. He has proved a profitable runner for punters; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 300% return on investment.
