About

Archduke Ferdinand, a 7yo gelding trained by S Spencer, contested the Musselburgh R5 Virgin Bet Scottish Sprint Cup Handicap. He is by Gutaifan out of Salariaq and has recorded eight victories to date. On 17 Aug 2024 at Newmarket he earned his biggest prize, winning the $10,308 Jenningsbet Grey Horse Handicap. The horse has been a value bet for punters; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 108% ROI.
