About
Cherry Bomshell, a 3yo bay filly from Australia trained by Annabel and Rob Archibald at Warwick Farm, is by Lucky Vega out of Not a Cherry. Having captured a Group Two victory and amassed $821,950 in earnings, she is regarded as a very talented racehorse. On 11 April 2026 at Randwick, ridden by Ben Thompson, she earned her most significant win to date in the $1,000,000 Percy Sykes Stakes, defeating Medicinal. She has proven a profitable horse for punters; backing her throughout her career would have produced a 193% return on investment.
