About
Linchpin, a 3yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by Darren McAuliffe at Pinjarra. He is by the stallion Playing God out of the dam Fo' Shizzle. To date he has secured three wins. On 4th Jun 2026 at Pinjarra Scarpside he captured his biggest victory, winning the $30000.00 Class Five Handicap. He has been a profitable runner for punters; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 14% return on investment.
