About

Nellie Leylax is a 4yo bay gelding trained by Annabel and Rob Archibald and standing at Flemington. He is by Calyx out of Lovelocks. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $630,870, he is considered an above‑average racehorse. On 23 August 2025 at Randwick, ridden by Alysha Collett, he captured his biggest victory, the $250,000 3yo+ Open Quality, beating Belvedere Boys. Throughout his career he has been a profitable choice for bettors; backing him from the start would have yielded about a 90% return on investment.
