Russian Sniper (AUS)
About
Russian Sniper is a 6yo Australian bay gelding trained by Raquel Williams of Collie. He is by Snippetson out of Russian Playmate and has accumulated nine victories in his racing career. On 24 August 2024 at Belmont he captured his biggest prize to date, winning the $80 000 Benchmark 72+ Handicap. The horse has delivered a modest profit for bettors, yielding a 4 % return on investment for anyone who backed him throughout his career.
