About
Vexatious Choice is a 4yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Nicole Irwin. He is by Hualalai out of Choose to Dance. To date he has recorded a single victory, which came on 10th Oct 2025 at Morphettville Parks in the $25000.00 3‑up Maiden Plate, his most notable achievement. The horse has delivered solid value for bettors; a lifelong bet on him would have yielded a 117% return on investment.
