About
Knight'S Choice, a 6yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by John Symons and Sheila Laxon. He is by Extreme Choice out of Midnight Pearl. With a Group One win and $5,846,400 in career earnings, he is classified as an elite racehorse. On 5 Nov 2024 at Flemington, Robbie Dolan rode him to his most valuable victory in the $8,560,000 3yo+ Open Handicap, beating Warp Speed. He has been a profitable choice for punters; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 425% return on investment.
