About
Chajaba is a 9yo chestnut gelding trained by Tina Egan in Stratford. He is by the stallion Keano out of the mare Hostage. He has recorded eight wins to date. On 24 May 2025 at Pukekura Raceway, Chajaba captured his biggest victory, the $40,000 Open Handicap. The horse has been a solid money‑maker for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 140% return on investment.
