About

Ground Control is a 3yo brown gelding from Australia, trained by Phillip Stokes at Morphettville. He was bred by stallion Dirty Work out of the mare Star Player. To date, he has recorded one victory in his career. On 28 May 2025 at Sale, Ground Control earned his biggest win so far by taking the $37,500 Maiden Set Weight. He has been a money‑maker for bettors, delivering about a 65% return on investment for anyone who backed him throughout his career.
