About
Headline Legend is a 5yo brown gelding from Australia, trained by John Thomas in Toowoomba. He is by the stallion Star Turn out of the mare Commanding Jewel. To date he has claimed two victories. On 10 July 2025 at Gatton he captured his biggest triumph, winning the $22,000 Maiden Set Weight. The horse has been a money‑maker for bettors, delivering roughly a 60% ROI for anyone who backed him throughout his career.
