About
Roland Garros is a 4yo gelding trained by Justin Snaith. He is by the stallion Vercingetorix out of the mare Amy Johnson. To date he has won four races. On 11 Apr 2026 at Greyville, he captured his biggest victory, the $4,999,998 Race Coast Sales Big Cap. Punters have found him to be a lucrative prospect; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 93% return on investment.
