Ginger Baker (AUS)
About
Kalgoorlie R6 Blue Spec Drilling Boulder Cup — Ginger Baker is an 8yo bay/brown gelding from Australia, trained by D & B Pearce in Karnup. He is by Gingerbread Man out of Spring Violet. As a stakes winner with $673,880 in career earnings, he is viewed as a horse of above‑average ability. On 6 July 2025 at Bunbury, ridden by Brad Parnham, he recorded his most important win, taking the $125 000 Open Set Weight With Penalties and beating Playhouse Patron. He has proved a profitable runner for punters; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 22 % return on investment.
