About

Royal Patronage is a 6yo bay stallion trained by G Waterhouse and A Bott at Randwick. He is by Wootton Bassett out of Shaloushka. With a Group One victory and career earnings of $2,933,493, he is regarded as an elite racehorse. On 8 March 2025 at Randwick, Tim Clark rode him to his biggest win, capturing the $750,000 Open Weight For Age by beating Here To Shock. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 144% return on investment.
