About

Planet Red is a 3yo chestnut gelding from Australia, trained by Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr. He is by the stallion Admire Mars out of Lucky Helmet. To date he has recorded two victories, the most notable coming on 13th Aug 2025 at Sandown Lakeside when he captured the $50,000 3yo Benchmark 64 Handicap. The horse has been a rewarding bet for punters; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 177% return on investment.
