About

Take The Rap is a 4yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Norm Gardner of Canberra. His sire is the stallion Star Turn and his dam is Madam Tilly. To date he has secured six wins. On 3 Oct 2025 at Moruya he achieved his most notable victory, taking the $30,000 Open Handicap. He has been a profitable pick for punters; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 75% return on investment.
