About

Rock In Wonder is a 6yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Ryan Hill in Keysbrook. He is by Awesome Rock out of Hidden Wonder. To date he has won four races. On 20 Dec 2025 at Ascot he captured the $125,000 Westspeed Platinum Cup, his biggest victory. He has consistently been a money‑maker for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 79% return on investment.
