About
Thebudgiesmugla is a 5yo bay or brown gelding trained by Bjorn Baker at Warwick Farm. He is by the stallion Redwood out of the dam Hot Pants. As a stakes winner with $642,724 in career earnings, he is viewed as an above‑average racehorse. On 4th Jul 2026 at Sunshine Coast, ridden by Dylan Gibbons, he secured his biggest win to date in the $500,000 Caloundra Cup Qualifying Handicap, defeating So You Are. He has proved a profitable runner for punters, and backing him throughout his career would have produced a 146% return on investment.
