About
Balance Of Power, a 5yo bay stallion trained by Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson at Matamata, runs in the Matamata R8 Colchester Engineering Handicap. He is by Almanzor out of Respin and has recorded four wins so far. His biggest victory arrived on 8 Mar 2025 at Pukekura Raceway, where he captured the $40,000 Benchmark 75 Handicap. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; wagering on him throughout his career would have produced a 35% return on investment.
