About

Happy Trails is a 17yo chestnut gelding from Australia trained by Paul Beshara. He is sired by the stallion Good Journey out of the dam Madame Flurry. Having won at Group One level and earned $3,263,400 throughout his career, Happy Trails is considered an elite racehorse. On 1st Nov 2014 at Flemington, Happy Trails, ridden by Damien Oliver, secured his most notable victory in the $1,000,000 Longines Mackinnon Stakes, defeating He's Your Man. He has been a profitable horse for bettors. If you had backed Happy Trails throughout his career, you would have achieved a 15% return on investment. Happy Trails has retired from racing, with his final race on 5th Nov 2016 at Flemington. Happy Trails was purchased for $11,000 at the 2009 Magic Millions Adelaide Yearling Sale.
