About
Volcanic Express is a 6yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by David Jolly & Justin Potter. He is by Hualalai out of Rugged Angel. As a stakes winner with $220,760 in career earnings, he is seen as an above‑average racehorse. On 19th Apr 2025 at Oakbank, ridden by Justin Potter, he earned his most important victory, taking the $140,000 Open Quality ahead of Sir Sway. He has consistently been a profit‑making horse for bettors; a lifetime backing would have generated a 14% return on investment.
