    About Popmaster

    Popmaster is a grey gelding who was bred in Ireland by Grangemore Stud. He was sired by Gutaifan out of the Clodovil mare Best New Show. Trained by Ed Walker and owned by Laurence Bellman, his current earnings are over £102,000. 

    Popmaster Career Form And Notable Achievements

    Popmaster has won 4 of his 22 career races to date, with his biggest victory coming in the class 2 Fever Tree Handicap at Ascot in 2021. Having won his first two races as a novice, he was gelded in May 2021 and won a further two races that summer, including the Fever Tree Handicap. All four of his victories have come over six furlongs, but he is yet to win again since his Fever Tree Handicap performance. His biggest achievement since was finishing runner-up in the Wokingham Stakes at the 2022 Royal Ascot, finishing ¾ length behind the winner Rohaan.
