About
Sphagnum, a 9yo bay trained by J P Broderick in Tipperary, is by Urban Poet out of Well Bonnie. The horse has secured five victories to date. Its biggest triumph came on 3 Nov 2024 at Cork, winning the $45,001.00 Class 1 Handicap. Punters have found it lucrative; backing Sphagnum throughout would have yielded a 6% ROI.
