About

Darwin R3 Solis Real Estate Handicap Able Seaman is a 6yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Philip Cole in Darwin. He is by Merchant Navy out of Dee Nine Elle. Able Seaman has recorded two career wins. On 15 Jan 2025 at Ipswich he captured his biggest victory, winning the $38,000 Class 1 Handicap. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him over his career would have yielded a 50% return on investment.
