About

Sunset Park is a 5yo chestnut mare trained by Brad Widdup of Hawkesbury. She is by Sea The Stars out of Hand Puppet. With a Group Two win and $324,770 in earnings, she is regarded as a very talented racehorse. On 8 Nov 2025 at Flemington, ridden by Jamie Melham, she claimed the $300,000 Matriarch Stakes, beating She’s A Hustler. Punters have found her profitable; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 68% return on investment.
