Ability
(AUS)About
Ability is a 12yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Henry Dwyer. He is sired by the stallion Reward for Effort out of the dam Paeroa. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $379,400, Ability is considered a racehorse with above-average ability. On 8th Jul 2017 at Flemington, Ability, ridden by Dwayne Dunn, secured his most notable victory in the $150000 Vic Sprint Series Final, defeating Duke of Brunswick. He has been a profitable horse for bettors throughout his career. Backing Ability throughout his career would have yielded a 50% return on investment. Ability has retired from racing, with his final run on 11th Aug 2018 at Flemington.
