About

Matusalem is a 5yo brown gelding from Australia trained by Chris Waller. He is by The Autumn Sun out of Miss Dodwell. As a stakes winner with total earnings of $727,525, he is considered a horse of above‑average ability. On 17 Apr 2025 at Albury, ridden by Reece Jones, he earned his biggest victory to date in the $200,000 Open Quality, beating Beltoro. Over his career he has been a money‑maker for bettors; backing him from the start would have yielded a 44% return on investment.
