About
Cherry Bomshell is a 3yo bay filly from Australia trained by Annabel & Rob Archibald. She is out of Not a Cherry and sired by Lucky Vega. Having captured a Group Two victory and earned $818,450 in her career, she is considered a highly talented racehorse. On 11th Apr 2026 at Randwick, ridden by Ben Thompson, she secured her most important win in the $1,000,000 Percy Sykes Stakes, beating Medicinal. Punters have found her to be a lucrative prospect; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 242% ROI.
