About
Wish You Were Here is a 4yo bay mare from Australia, trained by Matthew Kelley. She is by Zoustar out of Merton Maid and has won two races to date. On 5 Jan 2026 at Moruya she secured her biggest victory, taking the $30,000 Showcase Class 1 Handicap. Punters have found her profitable; backing her throughout her career would yield a 227% return on investment.
