About
Herbert, a 5yo bay gelding, competes for the Matamata R7 Comag Wairere Falls Classic and is trained by John Wheeler in New Plymouth. His sire is Sweet Orange and his dam is Ze One. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $386,981, he is considered to possess above-average talent. On 1 February 2025 at Pukekura Raceway, ridden by Harry Grace, he secured his most important victory, taking the $120,000 Open Set Weight With Penalties and beating Midnight Blue. Punters have found him to be a profitable prospect; backing him over his career would have yielded a 69% return on investment.
