About

Luminaries is an 8yo colt trained by Ewan Whillans, based at Hawick. He is by the stallion Leading Light out of the dam Pas De Chapeau. Luminaries has won four races to date. On 25 May 2025 at Kelso, he secured his biggest victory, earning $8,854 in the Class 4 Handicap. He has proved to be a profitable runner for bettors, and backing him throughout his career would have generated a 97% return on investment.
