About
Montpellier is a 4yo brown gelding trained by Annabel & Rob Archibald at Warwick Farm. He is by Wootton Bassett out of Mabs Cross. He has won two races to date. On 16 May 2025 at Newbury he claimed his biggest triumph, taking the $11805.00 Cl4 Nv. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have generated a 16% return on investment.
