About
Wonderwall is a 10yo gelding trained by S Curling in Ireland. He is by the stallion Yeats out of Rock Me Gently. So far, Wonderwall has secured six wins. His biggest victory came on 15 March 2025 at Cheltenham, where he captured the $48125.00 Cl2 Chnhf. He has proved a profitable runner for punters; backing him throughout his career would have generated a 52% return on investment.
