About
Competing in the Hobart R7 Aviso TAS Insurance Brokers Class 4, Coal River is a 4yo bay or brown gelding from Australia trained by Angela Brakey at Longford. He is by Shalaa out of River Star and has recorded four career wins. His most notable victory came on 7 Jan 2026 at Devonport Synthetic, where he claimed the $27,000.00 Class 2 Hcp. Punters have found him rewarding; a career‑long backing would have delivered a 62% return on investment.
