About
Great Adventure is a 4yo bay gelding trained by M & M Pitman in Yaldhurst, Riccarton Park. He is by the stallion Ferrando out of the mare Bonny Mae. To date he has recorded three victories, the most notable being the $35,000 Benchmark 65 Handicap at Riccarton Park on 2 May 2026. Punters have found him profitable; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 29% return on investment.
