About

Marble Nine is a 5yo brown gelding from Australia, trained by Leon & Troy Corstens and Will Larkin at Flemington. He is by the stallion Kobayashi out of Aura Lee. As a stakes winner with $599,000 in earnings, he is considered above‑average in ability. On 5 July 2025 at Flemington, ridden by Liam Riordan, he secured his biggest victory to date, winning the $175,000 Open Quality by beating Pereille. He has been a profitable runner for bettors, delivering a 47% return on investment for those who backed him throughout his career.
