About
The Accelator is a 5yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Kerry Petrick in Kununurra. His sire is the stallion Vino Rosso and his dam is Dig a Pony. To date, he has secured four career victories. On 3 Aug 2026 at Darwin, he achieved his biggest triumph, winning the $35,000 0‑58 Hcp. The horse has been a profitable choice for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 69% return on investment.
