About
Volcanic Express, a 6yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by David Jolly and Justin Potter. He is out of the mare Rugged Angel and by the stallion Hualalai. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $215,160, he is considered above‑average. On 19 April 2025 at Oakbank, ridden by Justin Potter, he secured his biggest triumph, the $140,000 Open Quality, defeating Sir Sway. He has been a profitable choice for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 32% return on investment.
