About
Our Approval is a 5yo bay gelding, trained by B & S Anderton at Wingatui. He is by Ghibellines out of Our Golden Girl and has achieved three wins so far. On 13 Dec 2025 at Ascot Park, he earned his most notable victory in the $40,000 Benchmark 75 Handicap. He has been a reliable money‑maker for punters; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 35% return on investment.
