About
War Machine is a 6yo bay gelding trained by Ben, Will and Jd Hayes. His sire is Harry Angel and his dam is Caserta. Having captured a Group One victory and amassed $3,414,455 in earnings, he is considered an elite racehorse. On 14 Jun 2025 at Eagle Farm, ridden by Tim Clark, War Machine earned his most important win, taking the $3,000,000 3yo+ Open Handicap and defeating Yellow Brick. He has consistently generated profit for bettors, and backing him throughout his career would have produced a 12% return on investment.
