About
Startling Cat is a 4yo brown or black gelding from Australia, trained by Paul Randall. He is by Jungle Cat out of Startling Pleasure and has recorded a single win in his career. On 7th Feb 2026 at Miles, he secured his most notable victory, claiming the $10000.00 Qtis Maiden Plte 2yo&up. The horse has been a money‑maker for bettors; backing him throughout would have yielded a 50% return on investment.
