About

Happy Clapper is a 14yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Patrick Webster. He is sired by the stallion Teofilo out of the dam Busking. With a Group One win and career earnings of $7,307,800, Happy Clapper is considered an elite racehorse. On 7th Apr 2018 at Royal Randwick, Happy Clapper, ridden by Blake Shinn, achieved his most notable victory in the $3,000,000 Doncaster Mile, defeating Comin' Through. He has been a profitable horse for bettors throughout his career. Backing Happy Clapper throughout his career would have yielded a 2% return on investment. Happy Clapper concluded his racing career, last running on 11th Apr 2020 at Royal Randwick.
