About

Cristal Clear, a 4yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Annabel & Rob Archibald at Warwick Farm, is by Exceedance out of Cristal Eyes. With a Group Two victory and career earnings of $752,750, he is seen as a highly capable racehorse. On 14 Mar 2026 at Rosehill Gardens, ridden by Braith Nock, he captured the $300,000 Ajax Stakes, beating Robusto. He has consistently delivered value to bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 50% return on investment.
