About
Ancient State is a 4yo gelding trained by Adam Kirby. He is by the stallion Dandy Man out of the mare No More Thrills. To date he has won 3 races. On 29th Mar 2026 at Southwell he earned his biggest victory, winning the $7081.00 Cl6 Hcp. He has been a rewarding runner for punters, and a backer over his career would see about a 1% return on investment.
