About
Metal Merchant is a 6yo colt trained by Brian Toomey in Chalfont St. Giles. He is by Make Believe out of Whipped and has claimed four victories. His standout triumph came on 20 Apr 2024 at Newbury, when he won the $36,078.00 Olbg Spring Cup Handicap (str). The horse has been profitable for punters; backing him for his whole career would have produced a 60% return on investment.
