About
Palmetto, an 8yo bay gelding, is trained by John Sargent of Randwick. He is by Ghibellines out of Carolina Island. As a stakes winner with $1,637,251 in earnings, he is considered a racehorse of above‑average talent. On 9 March 2025 at Canberra, Tim Clark rode Palmetto to his biggest victory, capturing the $200000.00 Open Quality and beating Matusalem. He has been a profitable runner for bettors, delivering a 51% return on investment for those who backed him throughout his career.
