About
At Randwick's R8 CATANACH'S JEWELLERS CONCORDE STAKES, Headwall is a 7yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Matthew Smith of Warwick Farm. He is by Dream Ahead out of Positive Quest. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $2,179,950, Headwall is considered a horse of above‑average ability. On 6 September 2025 at Randwick, ridden by Zac Lloyd, he captured his biggest victory, the $1,000,000 Concorde Stakes, beating Lady Shenandoah. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him over his career would have yielded a 54% return on investment.
