Never Sober (AUS)
About
Never Sober is a 7yo brown gelding from Australia trained by Sean Rains in Geraldton. He is by Sooboog out of Sandrelli and has won six races to date. On 22 Apr 2023 at Ascot he claimed his biggest victory, taking the $60,000 Rest 1 Metro Win Handicap. The horse has been profitable for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 26% return on investment.
