About
I Hope I Never is a 5yo bay mare trained by Shankar Muniandy. She is by Ghibellines out of Raise A Family and has secured three victories to date. On 20th Jul 2025 at Oamaru she earned her most important win, taking the $35000.00 Benchmark 65 Handicap. She has been a profitable prospect for punters; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 242% return on investment.
