About
The Next Episode is a 2yo bay colt from Australia, trained by Ciaron Maher. He is by Snitzel out of Humma Humma. As a stakes winner with $201,900 in earnings, he is considered an above‑average racehorse. On 2 May 2026 at Eagle Farm, jockey Jason Collett guided him to his biggest victory to date, taking the $200,000 Dalrello 2‑y‑o Plate and beating Lucky Pat. He has consistently delivered profit to bettors, and a lifetime backing would have yielded a 10% return on investment.
