The Big Goodbye
(AUS)About
The Big Goodbye is a 7yo bay gelding (male) from Australia trained by Robert Heathcote, who is based at Eagle Farm. He is sired by the stallion Host out of the dam Penny Opera. Given that he is a stakes winner and has amassed $743,700 in career earnings, The Big Goodbye is regarded as a racehorse with above-average ability. On 12th Jul 2023 at Grafton, The Big Goodbye was ridden by Martin Harley and scored his most significant win to date, getting the money in the $200000 Ramornie Handicap, defeating Far Too Easy. He has proven a profitable horse for the punters over the journey. If you had backed The Big Goodbye throughout his career you'd have achieved a 78% return on investment.
