About
City Of Tears is a 4yo chestnut mare from Australia, trained by David Matts in Coffs Harbour. She is by Sun City out of Crying Shame. To date she has recorded two victories. Her biggest triumph came on 9 Mar 2026 at Coffs Harbour, winning the $30,000 Country Boosted Class 1 Hcp. The filly has been a money‑maker for bettors; a backer who followed her entire career would have seen a 234% return on investment.
