About
War Machine, a 5yo bay gelding trained by Ben, Will & Jd Hayes at Flemington, competes in the Yulong Newmarket Handicap (R9) at Flemington. He is by Harry Angel out of Caserta. Having captured a Group One race and earning $3,396,455, he is considered an elite racer. On 14 June 2025 at Eagle Farm, Tim Clark rode him to his biggest victory, the $3,000,000 3yo+ Open Handicap, beating Yellow Brick. He has consistently delivered value to bettors; a career‑long backing would have returned about 31% profit.
