About

Bancoora is a 5yo bay/brown gelding from Australia trained by Paul Preusker, based at Horsham. He is by the stallion Bel Esprit out of Jungle Dance. To date, Bancoora has won two races. On 5 July 2025 at Gawler, he earned his biggest victory, securing the $50,000 Ch&g Benchmark 64 Handicap. He has proven to be a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 62% return on investment.
