About
Take A Pick, a 5yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by Sarah Rutten in Murray Bridge. He is by Lucas Cranach out of Self Portrait. To date he has three victories, the most valuable being the $27,000 Bm64 Handicap at Swan Hill on 29 July 2025. The horse has consistently delivered profit for bettors; backing his entire career would have yielded an 82% return on investment.
