About

At the Turffontein R6 SA Derby on 4 April, Celtic Rush ran in the Mr 70 Handicap. The 7yo gelding is trained by David Nieuwenhuizen and is by Willow Magic out of Celtic Heroine. To date the horse has secured four victories. Its biggest triumph came on 16 May 2024 at Vaal, where it collected the $82,481.00 handicap prize. Punters have found Celtic Rush to be a rewarding prospect; backing it throughout its career would have delivered a 91 % return on investment.
