About

Hughes, a 6yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by Gavin Bedggood in Cranbourne. His sire is Russian Revolution and his dam is No More Tears. To date he has won seven races. His biggest triumph came on 14 June 2025 at Sandown Hillside, where he captured the $150,000 Open Handicap. Punters have found him to be a value bet; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 34% return on investment.
