About

Travolta is a 5yo chestnut gelding trained by Chris Waller on the Gold Coast. His sire is Lope de Vega and his dam is Hertford Dancer. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $646,426, he is considered a horse of above‑average ability. On 18 Oct 2025 at Randwick, jockey Zac Lloyd guided Travolta to his biggest victory, claiming the $500,000 ATC St Leger Stakes ahead of Etna Rosso. He has consistently delivered value to bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 116% ROI.
