Opening Address (2021) Horse
About
Opening Address is a 4yo bay/brown gelding trained by Liam Howley in Kyneton. He is by the stallion So You Think out of Royal Welcome. As a stakes winner with $289,600 in earnings, he is considered a horse of above‑average ability. On 5 Nov 2024 at Flemington, ridden by James McDonald, he secured his biggest victory to date in the $175,000 3yo Open Set Weight With Penalties, beating Statuario. He has consistently delivered profit for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 102% ROI.
