About
His Finest Hour is a 5yo brown gelding trained by Neil Dyer in Kyneton. He is by the stallion Proisir out of Ipanema Girl. To date he has captured three wins. On 26 January 2026 at Hanging Rock, he secured his biggest triumph, collecting the $40,000 Hanging Rock Cup. He has been a lucrative runner for bettors; staying with him throughout his career would have yielded an 80% ROI.
