About

Show Pony is a 4yo bay gelding trained by John Blackadder in Rangiora. He is by the stallion Vespa out of the dam Last Sight. To date, he has secured three race victories. On 27 Sep 2025 at Riccarton Park, he captured his most important win, taking the $40,000 Benchmark 75 Handicap. The horse has proved a rewarding option for punters; backing him over his career would have generated a 5% return on investment.
