About
Populism is a 4yo bay mare from Australia trained by Meg Forrester. She is by Yes Yes Yes out of Shaik and has claimed one win to date. On 26 Sep 2026 at Mingenew‑Yandanooka she captured the $13,000 Maiden, her biggest triumph so far. Punters have found her profitable; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 29% return on investment.
