About
Thanks Gorgeous is a 4yo bay mare from Australia, trained by Mark & Levi Kavanagh at Flemington. She is by the stallion Peltzer out of Localchella. As a stakes winner with $571,225 in earnings, she is considered a racehorse of above‑average ability. On 28 Mar 2026 at Flemington, Craig Williams rode her to her most important victory, capturing the $500,000 VRC Sprint Classic over Tycoon Star. She has been a lucrative runner for bettors, and a career‑long backing would have yielded a 171% ROI.
