About

Southern France is a 10yo bay or brown gelding (male) from Ireland trained by Declan Maher, who is based at Ballarat. He is sired by the stallion Galileo out of the dam Alta Anna. Given that he has won at Group Two level and has amassed $1,366,903 in career earnings, Southern France is regarded as a very talented racehorse. On 16th Nov 2019 at Sandown Hillside, Southern France was ridden by Mark Zahra and scored his most significant win to date, getting the money in the $300000 Zipping Classic, defeating Miss Siska.
