About
Berkshire Sundance is a 6yo colt trained by A M Balding. He is by Decorated Knight out of Hugs 'n Kisses. To date he has won six races. On 11 Oct 2025 at York he captured his biggest victory, the $24,592.00 Cl4 Handicap. The horse has been a lucrative choice for punters; backing him throughout his career would have yielded an 80% return on investment.
