About

The Bowler is a 14yo bay gelding (male) from Australia trained by Robert Smerdon, who is based at Caulfield. He is sired by the stallion Testa Rossa out of the dam Specie. Given that he is a stakes winner and has amassed $471,145 in career earnings, The Bowler is regarded as a racehorse with above-average ability. On 16th May 2015 at Morphettville, The Bowler was ridden by Mark Zahra and scored his most significant win to date, getting the money in the $80000 Hughes Chauffeured Limousines R A Lee Stakes, defeating Excites Zelady. The Bowler has concluded his racing career, last running on the 26th Jan 2017 at Caulfield.
