About

Hellfire Express, a 5yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by Nathan Doyle. His sire is the stallion Hellbent and his dam is Dancing Express. To date he has secured six victories. On 7 June 2025 at Randwick, he captured his most important win, claiming the $120,000 3yo+ Benchmark 72 Handicap. He has consistently delivered profit to bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 68% return on investment.
