About

Planet Red is a 3yo chestnut gelding from Australia, trained by M Price and M Kent Jnr in Cranbourne. He is by Admire Mars out of Lucky Helmet. To date he has recorded two wins. His most notable victory arrived on 13 Aug 2025 at Sandown Lakeside, when he captured the $50,000 Benchmark 64 Handicap. The horse has been a lucrative pick for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 177% return on investment.
