About
Little Beginnings is a 6yo bay/brown gelding from Australia, trained by Kris Lees. He is by Shamus Award out of Novacastrian and has earned six wins so far. On 15 Oct 2025 at Warwick Farm he captured his most important victory in the $60,000 Bm 72 Hcp. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 53% return on investment.
