About

Lugh is a 5yo chestnut gelding from Australia trained by Ciaron Maher. He is by Snitzel out of Marcia Proba. So far he has won five races. On 26 July 2025 at Randwick he earned his most important victory, the $160,000 4yo+ Benchmark 78 Handicap. He has been a profitable runner for punters; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 433% return on investment.
