About

Encoder is a 4yo brown/black gelding from Australia trained by Lee Freedman. He is sired by the stallion Encryption out of the dam Eight Below. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $1,063,500, Encoder is considered a racehorse with above-average ability. On 16th Dec 2023 at Eagle Farm, Encoder, ridden by Damien Thornton, secured his most notable victory in the $300,000 Grand Prix Stakes 3yo, defeating Kirikan. Throughout his career, Encoder has been a profitable choice for bettors. Backing Encoder consistently would have yielded a 39% return on investment.
