About
Cool Gent is a 2yo bay or brown gelding from Australia, trained by Shane & Adam Barling on the Sunshine Coast. He is by Winning Rupert out of Snip Me Not. To date he has recorded one victory. His most notable triumph came on 25th Apr 2026 at Sunshine Coast when he won the $30,000 Qtis 2-y-o Maiden Hcp. The horse has been a lucrative option for bettors; a full‑career backer would have enjoyed a 900% return on investment.
