About

Baraqiel is a 7yo brown gelding from Australia trained by L & T Corstens & W Larkin. He is by Snitzel out of Angel Of Mercy. Having captured a Group One victory and amassed $1,128,025 in earnings, he is considered an elite racehorse. On 6 Sep 2025 at Moonee Valley, Ben Allen rode him to a decisive win in the $750,000 3yo+ Open Weight‑For‑Age, beating Alabama Lass. Throughout his career he has been a valuable prospect for bettors; a full‑career backing would have yielded a 133% return on investment.
