About

Homeward, a 4yo chestnut mare from Australia trained by Paul McVicar, is by Toronado out of Star of Night. She has recorded two victories in her career. On 28 November 2025 at Wodonga she captured her biggest triumph, winning the $42500.00 Maiden Plate. Punters have found her to be a valuable prospect; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 275% return on investment.
