About

Saxobushi is a 3yo chestnut gelding from Australia trained by Kris Lees on the Gold Coast. He is by Saxon Warrior out of Fashion Opera and has secured three wins to date. On 27 Dec 2025 at Eagle Farm he captured his most important victory, taking the $85000.00 Qtis 3&4-y-o Bm70 Hcp. The horse has proved profitable for bettors; a career‑long backing would have yielded a 265% return on investment.
