About
Covert Action is a 3yo bay colt from Australia, trained by Shane Nichols and Hayden Black. He is by Home Affairs out of Secret Agenda. He has recorded one win so far, with his most significant victory on 16 July 2026 at Cranbourne, taking the $42500.00 Maiden Plate. He has proven to be a profitable runner for bettors, and backing him throughout his career would have produced a 225% return on investment.
