About

Warnie is a 5yo bay gelding trained by Ciaron Maher in Moss Vale. He is by Highland Reel out of the dam Cumbfree. Having won at Group Two level and earning $1,166,298, Warnie is considered a highly talented racehorse. On 1st Nov 2025 at Flemington, ridden by Mark Zahra, he captured his biggest victory, the $500,000 Damien Oliver, beating Zou Sensation. He has been a profitable runner for punters; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 67% return on investment.
