About

Tolkien is a 6-year-old chestnut gelding from New Zealand, trained by Greg Connor, who operates out of Alice Springs. He is the offspring of the stallion Telperion and the mare Nahele. Throughout his career, Tolkien has won one race. His most notable victory came on April 20, 2022, at Strathalbyn, where he was ridden by Jake Toeroek and won the $21,800 2yo+ Maiden Set Weight race, defeating Fleurieu Flipper. He has proven to be a profitable horse for bettors, providing a 175 percent return on investment if you had wagered on him during his career.
