About

Novela is a 6yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Fred Wieland. He is out of the mare Episode Star and by the stallion Valentia. To date he has won four races. His best victory came on 24 May 2025 at Murray Bridge, when he captured the $55,000 Bm 70 Hcp. Punters have found him profitable; a bettor who backed him throughout his career would have earned a 39% ROI.
