About

Pericles is a 6yo bay gelding trained by P Gerard in Matamata. He is by the stallion Rubick out of the mare Empyrean. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $173,923, he is considered a horse of above‑average ability. On 17 February 2024 at Ellerslie, ridden by Vinnie Colgan, he captured his most important victory in the $100,000 3yo Open Set Weight With Penalties, beating Just A Floozie. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 297% ROI.
