About

Balance Of Power is a 5yo bay stallion trained by Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson at Riccarton Park. He is by Almanzor out of Respin. To date he has recorded four victories. On 8 March 2025 at Pukekura Raceway he secured his biggest triumph, winning the $40,000 Benchmark 75 Handicap. The horse has been a lucrative option for bettors; a consistent backer would have realised a 35% return on investment.
