About
Westbound, a 3yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by Michael Grantham in North Dandalup. He is by Toronado out of Western Jewel. As a stakes winner with $330,545 in earnings, he is considered a racehorse of above‑average talent. On 4th Jul 2026 at Belmont, ridden by Clint Johnston‑Porter, he captured his biggest victory to date in the $125,000 Aquanita Stakes, besting Special Counsel. The horse has consistently delivered profit to bettors, and a lifelong backer would have earned an 11% ROI.
