About
Mercian is a 6yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Lindsay Gough at Eagle Farm. He is by Saxon Warrior out of Oradonna. To date he has won four races. On 3 Oct 2026 at Eagle Farm he claimed his biggest victory, winning the $75,000 Bm70 Handicap. Punters have found him to be a profitable runner; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 44% return on investment.
