About

Riverina Lightning is a 4yo bay filly from Australia trained by Ben Brisbourne in Wangaratta. She is by stallion Shalaa out of dam Hautvillers. She has won two races so far. On 17 May 2025 at Echuca she secured her most important victory, the $27000.00 2yo+ Benchmark 52 Handicap. She has proven a profitable horse for punters; a career‑long backing would have produced a 252% return on investment.
