About
Wonka is a 3yo chestnut colt from Australia trained by Chris Waller, Flemington. He is by Snitzel out of Re Edit. With a stakes win and $336,550 in career earnings, he is seen as a horse of above‑average class. On 3rd Oct 2026 at Randwick, James McDonald rode him to his most important triumph, the $250000.00 Dulcify Stakes, overtaking Genesis Runner. He has been a profitable runner for punters; backing him throughout would have produced a 43% return on investment.
