About
Hoba West is a 6yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Summer Dickson in Port Kennedy. He is by the stallion Epaulette out of the mare Hoba. He has claimed five races so far. On 13 Dec 2025 at Ascot, he recorded his most notable win, taking the $80,000 Rtg 65+ Handicap. The horse has been profitable for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have generated a 45% return on investment.
