About
Ready For The Trip is a 5yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Tony Gollan at Eagle Farm. He is a son of Better Than Ready out of Pilgrim. To date he has recorded three career victories. On 30 Aug 2025 at Eagle Farm he captured his biggest triumph, winning the $75,000 Bm70 Handicap. The horse has delivered consistent value to bettors; backing him throughout his career would have generated a 4% ROI.
