About

Gentian Blue, a 6-year-old grey mare from New Zealand, is trained by Maxim and Samantha Van Lierde in Cambridge. She is the offspring of the stallion Reliable Man and the dam Emma's Choice. Gentian Blue has won two races in her career. Her most significant victory was on March 2, 2024, at Ellerslie, where she won the $80,000 Benchmark 65 Handicap. She has been a profitable horse for punters, offering a 117% return on investment for those who backed her throughout her career.
