About

Cheney, a 6yo bay mare, is trained by Stephanie Faulkner in Timaru. She is by the stallion Vespa out of Bonney Pepper. To date she has recorded three wins, including a standout victory on 8 February 2025 at Wingatui when she captured the $50,000 Benchmark 65 Handicap. Punters have found her lucrative; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 67% return on investment.
