About

Wales is a 15yo bay stallion from Australia trained by Richard Laming. He is sired by Redoute's Choice out of Valkyrie Diva. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $217,110, Wales is considered a racehorse with above-average ability. On April 28, 2012, at Caulfield, Wales, ridden by Steven King, achieved his most notable victory in the $100,000 Redoute's Choice Stakes, defeating Dominant. Wales has been a profitable horse for bettors throughout his career. Backing Wales throughout his career would have yielded a 193% return on investment. Wales concluded his racing career, last running on October 1, 2016, at Caulfield.
