About
Vermicella, a 5yo bay or brown mare from Australia, is trained by Joe Cleary of Queanbeyan. She is by Pierro out of Shemai. To date she has recorded six victories. On 1 March 2026 at Sapphire Coast she captured her biggest triumph, winning the $150,000 Sera Country Championships. She has consistently delivered value to bettors; a lifelong backer would have realized a 95% return on investment.
