Hot Bandit (AUS) Horse
About
Hot Bandit is a 5yo brown gelding from Australia, trained by Luke Pepper in Canberra. He is by Sebring Sun out of She's Red Hot. So far he has recorded six wins, with his most notable triumph coming on 13 Jul 2025 at Narrandera, where he claimed the $70,000 Open Handicap. The horse has proved a rewarding pick for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 40% return on investment.
