About

Stinginhisstep, a 7yo gelding trained by S Gardner, competed in the Exeter R2 New Inn, Alphington, Exeter Handicap Hurdle. He is by Scorpion out of Model Girl and has secured two wins so far. On 20 July 2025 at Newton Abbot he achieved his most significant victory, claiming the $8,854.00 Class 5 Handicap. The horse has proved profitable for punters; backing him throughout his career would have delivered an 11% return on investment.
