Party Business (2016)
About
Party Business is a 9yo b trained by Ian Williams at Alvechurch. He is by Shantou out of Marias Dream. So far he has secured two wins. His biggest triumph came on 9 Apr 2022 at Aintree, where he took the $42,202 Eft Construction Handicap Hurdle (Grade 3). He has proved a profit‑generating horse for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 2% return on investment.
