About
Strike Weapon is a 3yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Lennie Wheeler. He is by Better Than Ready out of the dam Element Ofsurprise. To date he has recorded one victory. His biggest achievement came on 25 Feb 2026 at Doomben, where he captured the $40,000 Qtis 3-y-o Maiden Plate. The horse has been a solid money‑maker for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 125% ROI.
