About
Sun Worshipper, a 4yo chestnut mare from Australia, is trained by Matt Kropp in Toowoomba. Bred from sire Sun City and dam Belief, she has secured five victories in her career. On 3 Jan 2026 at Eagle Farm she captured her biggest triumph, winning the $125,000 Shoot Out Quality Hcp. Punters have found her lucrative; backing her throughout would have yielded a 92% return on investment.
