About
The Australian‑bred 7yo bay gelding Jolly Companion, trained by K L Man Man, is out of the mare Nubian and by the stallion All Too Hard. He has accumulated five victories, the most notable coming on 7 Jan 2026 at Happy Valley when he captured the $1,170,000 Class 4 Handicap. Throughout his career he has been a value bet, delivering roughly a 5 % return on investment for those who backed him from the start.
