About
Piggyback is a 6yo chestnut mare from Australia trained by Ciaron Maher in Cranbourne. She is by Trapeze Artist out of Wowee. As a stakes winner with $678,800 earnings, she is considered above‑average. On 21 Feb 2026 at Rosehill Gardens, Dylan Gibbons rode her to her biggest victory, the $250,000 Parramatta Cup, beating Bois D'argent. She has been a lucrative runner for bettors; a career‑long backing would have yielded a 49% ROI.
