About
Hard Choice is a 4yo brown gelding from Australia, trained by Brett Thompson in Gulgong. He is by Great Choice out of Catherine Louise. To date he has recorded a single victory, which came on 10 Apr 2026 at Wellington when he captured the $30,000 Country Boosted Maiden Handicap. The horse has been a lucrative prospect for bettors; a lifelong backing would have yielded a 933% ROI.
