About
Wolfgang is an 8yo bay gelding trained by Peter & Shaun Mckay in Matamata. He is by the stallion Puccini out of the dam Navy Beach. As a stakes winner with $627,767 in career earnings, he is regarded as a racehorse of above‑average ability. On 18th Jan 2025 at Trentham, ridden by Joe Doyle, Wolfgang captured his most significant win to date, taking the $400,000 Open Handicap and defeating Crouch. He has consistently been a profitable choice for punters; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 94% return on investment.
