About

Bridal Waltz, a 4yo bay mare from Australia, is trained by Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman at Pakenham OC. She is by Snitzel out of Charleston Dancer. A stakes winner with career earnings of $553,140, she is considered above‑average. On 26 July 2025 at Caulfield, ridden by Ben Melham, she captured her biggest victory in the $200,000 Bletchingly Stakes, beating Kin. Punters have found her profitable; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 92% ROI.
