About
Cannonball is a 6yo chestnut gelding from Australia trained by Patrick Kearney, who is based at Ballarat. He is by Capitalist out of Golconda. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $649,775, Cannonball is seen as a racehorse of above‑average class. On 21 Dec 2024 at Eagle Farm, ridden by M Harley, he secured his biggest victory to date in the $200,000 Open Quality, beating Oughton. He has consistently offered value to punters, and backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 109% return on investment.
