About

Knuckle is a 6yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Eric Musgrove. His sire is War and his dam is Basic Instinct. He has registered one win so far. On 1June2025 at Moe, Knuckle claimed his biggest triumph, collecting the $27,000 prize in the 3yo+ Maiden Set Weight. He has been a lucrative runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 143% return on investment.
