About
Poetry Man is an 8yo ch trained by G Bewley at Colby. He is by the stallion Mahler out of Sommer Sonnet. To date he has secured one win, the most notable being on 28 Dec 2024 at Catterick when he captured the $8,854.00 Class 5 Handicap Chase. He has proved to be a profitable prospect for bettors; wagering on him throughout his career would have generated a 40% ROI.
