About
Waitakere is a 10yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Paul Edwards in Toowoomba. He is by Foxwedge out of Marie Soleil and has recorded eight career wins. His biggest triumph came on 23 Dec 2021 at Toowoomba, where he captured the $20,000 Class 3 Handicap. The horse has been a rewarding target for bettors; backing him through his career would have yielded a 22% ROI.
