About

Absconded Witness is a 5yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Fred Wieland in Cairns. He is out of the mare Something Violet and sired by Star Witness. To date he has recorded one career win. His biggest triumph came on 16 Apr 2024 at Ballarat, where he captured the $27,000 Maiden Set Weight. The horse has been a money‑maker for bettors, delivering about a 6% return on investment for anyone who backed him throughout his career.
