About
Detonator Jack is an 8yo brown gelding trained by Ciaron Maher. He is by the stallion Jakkalberry out of Red Delicious. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $1,901,575, he is considered a racehorse of above‑average ability. On 4 July 2026 at Flemington, ridden by John Allen, he secured his biggest victory in the $200,000 Winter Championship Final, beating Freedom Rally. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 7% return on investment.
