About
Welwal is a 7yo bay gelding trained by Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr at Rosehill. He is by Shalaa out of Cheriearch. A stakes winner with career earnings of $821,371, he is considered to have above‑average ability. On 28 March 2026 at Rosehill Gardens, Zac Lloyd rode him to victory in the $250,000 Doncaster Prelude, beating Feroce. He has been a money‑maker for bettors; a lifelong wager on Welwal would have returned about 61% on investment.
