About
Sha Tin R4 Shaw Alumni Hcp (C2) Pocketing is a 4yo bay gelding (male) from Australia trained by David Hayes, who is based at Hong Kong. He is sired by the stallion Grunt out of the dam Pickpocket. Given that he has won at Group Two level and has amassed $444,500 in career earnings, Pocketing is regarded as a very talented racehorse. On 1st Apr 2025 at Rosehill Gardens, Pocketing was ridden by Joshua Parr and scored his most significant win to date, getting the money in the $300000.00 3yo C&g Open Set Weight, defeating Firm Agreement. He has proven a profitable horse for the punters over the journey. If you had backed Pocketing throughout his career you'd have achieved a 49% return on investment.
