About

Mercurial is a 6yo bay gelding from New Zealand trained by Stephen Marsh. He is sired by the stallion Burgundy out of the dam Roxette. With a Group One win and career earnings of $544,178, Mercurial is considered an elite racehorse. On January 13, 2024, at Trentham, Mercurial, ridden by Sam Spratt, secured his most notable victory in the $450,000 Open Weight For Age, defeating Expressiveness. Throughout his career, Mercurial has been a profitable choice for bettors. Backing Mercurial throughout his career would have yielded a 13% return on investment.
