About

In the Morphettville R8 Sportsbet City of Marion Stakes (Leg 3 Summer Sprint Series), Compelling Truth is a 6yo brown gelding from Australia, trained by Mack Griffith. He is by I Am Invincible out of Speak Fondly. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $630,030, he is considered an above‑average racehorse. On 14th Jun 2025 at Eagle Farm, Bailey Wheeler rode him to his biggest victory, claiming the $160,000.00 Open Quality and beating Need Some Luck. Punters have found him to be a lucrative selection; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 92% return on investment.
