About

Finnhugh, a 5yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by Paul Preusker. He is by Shamus Award out of Caesour's Deel. To date, Finnhugh has claimed two victories. His biggest triumph came on 26 July 2025 at Murtoa, where he won the $27,000 Restricted 58 Handicap. The horse has been a money‑maker for bettors, delivering about a 3% return on investment for anyone who backed him throughout his career.
