About

Surprise Baby is a 10yo bay or brown gelding (male) from New Zealand trained by Gavin Bedggood, who is based at Cranbourne. He is sired by the stallion Shocking out of the dam Bula Baby. Given that he has won at Group Two level and has amassed $1,037,735 in career earnings, Surprise Baby is regarded as a very talented racehorse. On 11th Mar 2019 at Morphettville, Surprise Baby was ridden by Dean Holland and scored his most significant win to date, getting the money in the $400000 Adelaide Cup, defeating Top of the Range. He has proven a profitable horse for the punters over the journey. If you had backed Surprise Baby throughout his career you'd have achieved a 45% return on investment. Surprise Baby has concluded his racing career, last running on the 2nd Apr 2022 at Royal Randwick.
