About

Minimal is a 7yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Jeff Dixon, based at Warwick. His sire is Vancouver and his dam is Smart Company. He has logged seven wins so far. On 24 March 2023 at Wellington he earned his most important victory, taking the $30,000 Benchmark 50 Handicap. The horse has consistently been a profit‑maker for bettors, and a lifelong backer would have realized a 24% return on investment.
