About

The Virginian is a 12yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Brett Cavanough. He is sired by the stallion Hinchinbrook out of the dam Redwood Dancer. With a stakes win and career earnings of $259,150, The Virginian is considered a racehorse with above-average ability. On May 20, 2017, at Doomben, The Virginian was ridden by Jimmy Byrne and achieved his most notable victory, winning the $100,000 Chief De Beers and defeating Highly Geared. The Virginian has retired from racing, with his final race on October 14, 2017, at Royal Randwick.
