About
Poplar Park is a 5yo racehorse trained by Robbie Sage. He is by Last Winter out of Ruler Of The Sky and has claimed three victories. On 8 March 2025 at Turffontein he secured his biggest triumph, winning the $150,000 Ormond Ferraris Oaks Trial for 3‑year‑old fillies. The horse has been a good value for bettors; a full‑career backing would have generated a 125% return on investment.
