About
Wire Rope is a 4yo bay gelding trained by Bill and Sam Thurlow together with O'Malley at Waverley. He is by Darci Brahma out of Halobelle and has recorded three wins to date. On 24 January 2026 at Pukekura Raceway he secured his most significant victory, winning the $40,000 Benchmark 75 Handicap. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 45% return on investment.
