About

Surprise Baby is a 10yo bay or brown gelding from New Zealand trained by Gavin Bedggood, Cranbourne. He is sired by the stallion Shocking out of the dam Bula Baby. With a Group Two level win and career earnings of $1,037,735, Surprise Baby is considered a highly talented racehorse. On 11th Mar 2019 at Morphettville, Surprise Baby, ridden by Dean Holland, achieved his most notable victory in the $400000.00 Adelaide Cup, defeating Top of the Range. He has been a profitable horse for bettors throughout his career. Backing Surprise Baby throughout his career would have yielded a 45% return on investment. Surprise Baby has retired from racing, with his final race on the 2nd Apr 2022 at Royal Randwick.
