Illustrious Lad
(AUS)About
Illustrious Lad is a 13yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Matthew Williams. He is sired by the stallion I Am Invincible out of the dam Industrious. Having won at Group Two level and earned $840,197 throughout his career, Illustrious Lad is considered a highly talented racehorse. On 29th Oct 2016 at Flemington, Illustrious Lad, ridden by Anthony Darmanin, secured his most notable victory in the $300000 Tab.com.au Stakes, defeating Counterattack. He has been a profitable horse for bettors. Backing Illustrious Lad throughout his career would have yielded a 22% return on investment. Illustrious Lad has retired from racing, with his final race on 6th May 2020 at Warrnambool.
