About
Western Fold is a 7yo gelding trained by Gordon Elliott. He is by Westerner out of Fieldtown and has secured nine wins so far. On 18 Oct 2026 at Far Hills he achieved his most important victory, taking the $300,000 Hnhf. He has proved a profitable choice for punters; backing him throughout his career would have generated a 103% return on investment.
