About
Ombudsman is a 5yo gelding trained by J & T Gosden in Newmarket. He is by Night Of Thunder out of Syndicate and has recorded eight career victories. On 28 Mar 2026 at Meydan, he captured his biggest triumph, winning the $4,924,000 Group 1 Dubai Turf (Race 7) on turf. The horse has consistently delivered value to bettors, and a backer who staked on him throughout his career would have realised a 236% return on investment.
