About

Croke Park, a 7yo b trained by G Elliott in Meath, is by the stallion Walk In The Park out of the mare Toledana. The horse has recorded six victories to date. Its biggest triumph came on 26 Dec 2024 at Leopardstown, where it won the $100,000 Cl1 Nvch. Punters have found it to be a lucrative prospect; backing the horse throughout its career would have generated a 170% return on investment.
