Poison Chalice is a promising racehorse based in Australia, born in 2019 and bred in New Zealand. The gelding is sired by Savabeel, a renowned stallion, and out of the mare Urban.

Poison Chalice was acquired for AUD 350,000 at the 2021 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale and is currently trained by Paul Preusker. Owned by the Sean Buckley and the Ultra Horse Syndicate, he has shown notable progress on the racetrack, accumulating five wins and two placings from 13 career starts, covering distances from 1412 meters to 1800 meters.

Known for his steady development, Poison Chalice is still growing into his frame and shows potential for further improvement. His racing career highlights include a determined win at Morphettville in November 2023 and a solid performance record, reflecting his ability to handle different race conditions while still maturing as a racehorse. He recently secured an impressive victory in the Schweppes Handicap at Caulfield on October 16, 2024.

Trained by Paul Preusker and ridden by Thomas Stockdale, the horse won over 1440 meters, marking his fifth career win from 13 starts. This race followed a break after an earlier winter campaign in Queensland, where things didn’t go as planned. The team had high expectations for his return, and Poison Chalice delivered, finishing strongly after positioning fifth for much of the race.

His performance at Caulfield added to his reputation, building on prior successes and solidifying his status as a competitive racehorse in Australia.
