About
Knight's Choice is a 7yo bay gelding from Australia trained by John Symons and Sheila Laxon in Ballarat. He is by Extreme Choice out of Midnight Pearl. With a Group One victory and $5,905,550 in earnings, he is regarded as an elite racehorse. On 5 Nov 2024 at Flemington, Robbie Dolan rode him to his biggest win, the $8,560,000 3yo+ Open Handicap, defeating Warp Speed. He has consistently been a profitable selection for punters; backing him throughout his career would generate a 320% return on investment.
