About
Kessler, a 7yo chestnut gelding from Australia, is trained by Philip Cole in Darwin. He is by Good Journey out of Canconi and has collected eight career victories. His standout triumph came on 19 July 2025 at Darwin, when he won the $26,000.00 Restricted 62 Handicap. Over his campaign he has been a money‑maker for bettors, delivering a 30% return on investment for those who backed him from the start.
