About

Flemington R8 Black Caviar Lightning — Baraqiel is a 7yo brown gelding from Australia trained by Leon & Troy Corstens and Will Larkin at Flemington. He is by the stallion Snitzel out of the mare Angel of Mercy. Having secured a Group One win and accumulated $1,488,025 in earnings, Baraqiel is viewed as an elite racehorse. On 6 Sep 2025 at Moonee Valley, Ben Allen rode him to his most important victory, the $750,000 Moir Stakes, beating Alabama Lass. He has proved a lucrative pick for punters, offering a 115% return on investment for anyone who backed him throughout his career.
