About
Free Beer is a 5yo bay or brown gelding from Australia, trained by Justin Pickering in Murray Bridge. He is by Astern out of Wyuna and has recorded six victories so far. On 20 September 2025 at Morphettville Parks, he secured his most valuable win, the $50,000 0-64 Hcp. The horse has proven profitable for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have generated a 216% return on investment.
