About
I've Bean Tryin' is a 7yo brown gelding from Australia, trained by Matthew Kelley in Canberra. He is by the stallion Spill the Beans out of the mare Sheza Lonhro. To date he has won eight races. On 7 Nov 2023 at Randwick he secured his biggest victory, taking the $250000.00 Barn Dance. The horse has been a money‑maker for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 37% return on investment.
