About

Cool Memory is a 5yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Darren McAuliffe at Pinjarra. He is out of the mare Fo' Shizzle and sired by Impending. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $401,968, he is considered to have above‑average ability. On 6 September 2025 at Belmont, jockey Brad Parnham rode him to his most important victory, taking the $125,000 3yo+ Open Handicap and defeating Kaptain Kaos. He has proved a profitable horse for punters; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 97% return on investment.
