About

Hot Line Bling is a 5yo bay gelding trained by S Ritchie & C Murray in Cambridge. He is by the stallion Almanzor out of the mare Vera Drake. To date he has recorded a single victory. On 18 Jun 2025 at Cambridge he captured his biggest triumph, winning the $17,000 Restricted 60 Handicap. The horse has been a profitable choice for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 66% return on investment.
