About
Magic Defense is a 5yo bay mare from Australia, trained by Kerry Petrick. She is by National Defense out of Magic Water and has recorded ten victories to date. On 4 May 2026 at Alice Springs she captured the $120,000 Alice Springs Cup, her most important triumph so far. Punters have found her to be a lucrative prospect; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 63% return on investment.
