About
Astronomix, a 3yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by John O'shea and Tom Charlton. He is by Calyx out of Waimea Bay and has won one race to date. On 14 Jan 2026 at Kensington he secured his biggest victory, taking the $60,000 3yo Maiden Plate. The horse has been a solid money‑maker for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 3% return on investment.
