About
Way Down South is a 7yo bay horse trained by G Scott in Limerick. He is by the stallion Ocovango out of the dam Roundhill. He has secured three wins so far. On 3rd Jan 2026 at Cork he claimed his most important victory, earning the $12501.00 prize. The horse has proved profitable for punters; a bettor who backed him throughout his career would have seen a 79% return on investment.
