Sky Lab (AUS)
About
Sky Lab is an 8yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Paul Perry in Newcastle. He is out of the mare Gold Mission and by the sire Real Impact. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $1,508,580, he is seen as a horse of above‑average ability. On 17 May 2024 at Scone, ridden by Koby Jennings, Sky Lab captured his biggest victory to date by winning the $200,000 Open Quality, beating Waterford. He has consistently delivered value to bettors, and backing him throughout his career would have generated a 54% return on investment.
