About
Hope To Rule, a 4yo brown mare from Australia trained by Stefan Vahala, is by Universal Ruler out of Ancient Hope. She has secured three victories in her career. On 15 Apr 2026 at Pinjarra Scarpside, she earned her biggest win, taking the $35,000.00 No-metro-wins Last Year prize. Punters have found her profitable; backing her throughout would have yielded a 167% return on investment.
