About

If Not For Dylan is a 10yo b trained by L Russell and M Scudamore. He is by the stallion Doyen out of the dam Exit Stage Left. So far he has secured five wins. His most notable victory arrived on 28 Apr 2023 at Perth, winning the $29,511.00 Class 3 Handicap. The horse has proven profitable for punters; betting on him throughout his career would have produced a 107% return on investment.
