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 1 June 2025 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.
