About
Give Me Space is a 4yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Rodney Hay in Chinchilla. He is by Cosmic Force out of the mare Gwynethanne. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $861,175, he is considered to possess above‑average talent. On 28 Dec 2024 at Eagle Farm, ridden by Luke Dempsey, he captured his biggest victory to date in the $300,000 3yo Open Set Weight, beating Street Chase. He has consistently delivered profit for bettors, and backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 38% return on investment.
