About
The Merryman is a 5yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Simon A Miller. He is by Epaulette out of Merriest. To date he has secured a single victory. On 6 Oct 2024 at Northam he claimed his biggest triumph, taking the $25,000 3yo+ Maiden Set Weight. The horse has been a sound value for bettors; backing him throughout would have yielded a 486% ROI.
