About

The Musical Guy is a 19yo b from Ireland trained by N & W Twiston-davies. Sired by Lahib and out of Orchestral Sport, the horse has recorded two victories to date. Its biggest triumph came on 10 Dec 2014 at Leicester, where it captured the $7,000 Sis Handicap Chase. The runner has been a rewarding bet for punters, delivering about a 20% ROI for those who backed it throughout its career. The Musical Guy retired after its final start on 13 Feb 2015 at Leicester.
