About

American Wolf is a 5yo bay gelding (male) trained by Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young. He was sired by the stallion Tivaci out of the dam Zelitist. As a stakes winner with $198,010 in career earnings, he is considered a racehorse of above‑average ability. On 25th Apr 2025 at Flemington, ridden by John Allen, American Wolf secured his most important victory to date, winning the $200,000 3yo Open Set Weight and beating Litzdeel. He has consistently delivered profit for bettors, and backing him throughout his career would have produced a 15% return on investment.
