About
The True Believer is an 8yo bay gelding trained by Grant Young in Murray Bridge. He is by The Bold One out of Bailar Riovida. To date he has won six races. On 12 Sep 2024 at Warrnambool he captured his biggest victory, taking the $35,000 Benchmark 64 Handicap. Throughout his career he has been a lucrative performer for bettors; backing him from the start would have yielded a 23% ROI.
