About
Top Calibre, a 5yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by Lloyd Kennewell in Cranbourne. He is by the stallion Written Tycoon out of the mare Gracie's Lass. To date he has secured three victories. On 30 Nov 2024 at Morphettville Parks he earned his biggest win, taking the $55,000 1-mile weight-for-age race (benchmark 74). He has been a money-maker for punters; backing him throughout his career would have yielded an 8% ROI.
