About
Asakura is a 3yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Mitchell Freedman in Ballarat. He is by Churchill out of Sasanqua. He has recorded two career wins. On 26 Jan 2026 at Geelong he secured his most important victory, claiming the $35,000 Bm66 Handicap. He has proved a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have generated an 88% return on investment.
