About

Rose of Virginia is a 16yo bay mare trained by Lee & Shannon Hope in Seymour. She is by Thorn Park out of Centapin and has won six races so far. On 24 Jan 2016 at Ellerslie she secured her most important victory, the $93,817 Hcp. She has proven a profitable runner for punters; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 611% return on investment. Rose of Virginia retired after her last start on 26 Aug 2017 at Moonee Valley.
