About
Daneyko is a 3yo bay from the United States trained by Edward J. Kereluk. It is sired by the stallion Vekoma out of the dam Nat Gio. Daneyko has won two races so far. On 19 Jan 2026 at Sunland Park, Daneyko secured its most significant victory, claiming the $100,000 Riley Allison Derby (stakes). It has been a profitable horse for bettors; backing Daneyko throughout its career would have yielded a 107% return on investment.
