About
Fireball is a 2yo bay colt from Australia trained by Chris Waller on the Gold Coast. He is by Snitzel out of Advance Party. Having secured a Group One victory and earned $2,035,000, Fireball is regarded as an elite racehorse. On 18 Apr 2026 at Randwick, ridden by Tim Clark, he won the $1,000,000 Champagne Stakes, defeating Campione D'Italia. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 218% return on investment.
