About
Piggyback, a 6yo chestnut mare from Australia, is trained by Ciaron Maher in Ballarat. She is by Trapeze Artist out of Wowee. As a stakes winner with $698,200 in earnings, she is considered an above‑average performer. On 21 Feb 2026 at Rosehill Gardens, Dylan Gibbons rode her to a decisive victory in the $250,000 Parramatta Cup, beating Bois D'argent. Throughout her career she has been a value pick for bettors; a lifelong backer would have earned a 27% ROI.
