About

News Bound is a 5yo brown mare from Australia trained by Rodney Northam. She is by Press Statement out of Bring a Gazelle. To date she has recorded three victories. On 25 Jan 2024 at Tamworth she captured her biggest triumph, winning the $50,000 Maiden Set Weight. Punters have found her to be a money‑maker; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 25% return on investment.
