About
El Arish is a 4yo bay gelding trained by Stephen Marsh in Cambridge. He is by Embellish out of Glenkinchie. To date he has won four races. His biggest triumph came on 26 Oct 2024 at Ellerslie, where he secured the $30,000 3yo Maiden Set Weight. Punters have found him lucrative; a lifelong backer would have earned a 92% return on investment.
