About
War Princess is a 4yo bay mare trained by Peter & Trent Didham, Awapuni. She is by the stallion U S Navy Flag out of Royal Appellant. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $343,027, she is considered an above‑average racehorse. On 20 Dec 2025 at Trentham, ridden by Samantha Collett, she secured her biggest victory to date in the $100,000 3yo F Open Set Weight, beating Origin Of Love. She has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 102% return on investment.
