About

Drunken Sailor is a 6yo brown gelding trained by James Ponsonby in Hawkesbury. He is by Ocean Park out of Lady Royale. He has secured five wins so far. On 12 Jan 2026 at Dubbo he claimed his most valuable victory, the $27,000 Bm 66 Hcp. The horse has been profitable for punters; backing him throughout his career would have produced an 81% return on investment.
