About
Herbert is a 5yo bay gelding trained by John Wheeler in New Plymouth. He is out of Ze One and by Sweet Orange. A stakes winner with $381,605 in earnings, he is considered above‑average. On 1 Feb 2025 at Pukekura Raceway, Harry Grace rode him to his biggest victory, the $120,000 Open Set Weight With Penalties, beating Midnight Blue. He has been a lucrative runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 95% return on investment.
