About
Tribal Ruler is a 6yo brown gelding from Australia, trained by Phillip McLeod. He is by King’s Troop out of Tribal Secret. He has chalked up three wins in his career. On 3 Apr 2026 at Ascot he earned his biggest victory, taking the $30,000 Class Three Handicap. The horse has been a valuable hit for bettors, providing roughly a 325% return on investment for anyone who backed him throughout his career.
