About

Brave Monarch is a 3yo chestnut gelding from Australia, trained by Chris & Corey Munce in Gold Coast. He is by Brave Smash out of Puppet Queen. Having won at Group Two level and earned $492,500, he is considered a highly talented racehorse. On 2 May 2026 at Eagle Farm, he was ridden by M Harley to claim his biggest victory so far, the $350,000 Queensland Guineas (3yo), beating Tupakara. He has been a profitable selection for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 130% ROI.
