About
Hot Bandit, a 5yo brown gelding from Australia, is trained by Luke Pepper in Canberra. He is by the stallion Sebring Sun out of the mare She’s Red Hot. To date he has recorded six victories, including his biggest triumph on 13 July 2025 at Narrandera, where he captured the $70,000 Open Handicap. Punters have found him to be a lucrative runner; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 21% return on investment.
