About

The Novelist is a 4yo chestnut gelding (male) from Australia trained by G & A Waterhouse & Bott, who is based at Flemington. He is sired by the stallion Written By out of the dam Sunlit. Given that he is a stakes winner and has amassed $489,925 in career earnings, The Novelist is regarded as a racehorse with above-average ability. On 24th Dec 2022 at Doomben, The Novelist was ridden by James P Innes and scored his most significant win to date, getting the money in the $250000 Bj Mclachlan 2yo Plte, defeating Excel D'or. He has proven a profitable horse for the punters over the journey. If you had backed The Novelist throughout his career you'd have achieved a 7% return on investment.
