About
Westbound is a 3yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Michael Grantham. He is by Toronado out of Western Jewel. To date he has recorded four wins. On 9 May 2026 at Ascot he captured his biggest victory, winning the $80,000 Rtg 66+ Handicap. The horse has been a money‑maker for bettors; a full‑career backing would have yielded a 13% ROI.
