About

Waitak is a 6yo bay gelding trained by L O’Sullivan and A Scott at Matamata. He is by Proisir out of Repo Bay. After securing a Group One win and accumulating $1,379,172 in earnings, he is regarded as an elite racehorse. On 18 Oct 2025 at Ellerslie, Craig Grylls rode him to his biggest victory, capturing the $550,000 Open Weight‑For‑Age and beating El Vencedor. He has been a profitable selection for bettors; holding a position on him throughout his career would have delivered a 21% return on investment.
