About

Chief Witness, a 5yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by Chris & Corey Munce in Gold Coast. He is by the stallion Star Witness out of Hilton Head. To date he has recorded six wins. On 27 Dec 2025 at Eagle Farm he captured his biggest victory, taking the $85,000 Class 6 Handicap. He has consistently delivered value to bettors; a career‑long backing would have yielded a 35% return on investment.
