About

Ascension is an 8yo grey gelding from the United Kingdom trained by Daniel McCarthy. He is sired by the stallion Dark Angel out of the dam Making Eyes. Ascension has secured 9 wins throughout his career. On February 11, 2023, at Randwick, Ascension achieved his most notable victory, taking the $150,000 Bm 88 Hcp. He has been a lucrative choice for bettors. Backing Ascension throughout his career would have yielded a 128% return on investment.
