About

Travolta is a 4yo chestnut gelding trained by Chris Waller, based at Rosehill. He is by the stallion Lope De Vega out of the mare Hertford Dancer. As a stakes winner with $642,775 in career earnings, he is regarded as a racehorse of above‑average ability. On 18 Oct 2025 at Randwick, Zac Lloyd rode Travolta to his biggest triumph, claiming the $500,000 3yo+ Open Set Weight With Penalties and defeating Etna Rosso. He has been a profitable runner for punters; a lifelong backing would have produced a 176% return on investment.
