About
Mercian is a 5yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Lindsay Gough at Eagle Farm. He was sired by Saxon Warrior out of the dam Oradonna. To date, Mercian has won three races. On 6 May 2026 at Eagle Farm, he captured his most valuable win, earning $38000.00 in a Class 3 Hcp. He has consistently provided value to punters, and anyone who backed him throughout his career would have realized a 2% return on investment.
