About
Sterling Express, a 6yo bay gelding, is trained by Mark Brosnan in Matamata. His sire is Shamexpress and his dam is On Parole. With a Group Two victory and career earnings of $450,504, he is considered a highly capable racehorse. On 23 August 2025 at Te Rapa, ridden by Masahiro Hashizume, he secured his biggest triumph, winning the $150,000 Open Weight‑For‑Age and beating Lhasa. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 123% return on investment.
