About

Gold Currency is a 5yo bay gelding trained by Kurtis Pertab, who works out of Matamata. He is by the stallion Tarzino out of the mare Sixpence. To date, the horse has recorded two career wins. On 21 Mar 2025 at Pukekohe Park, he captured his biggest victory, taking the $55,000 Benchmark 65 Handicap. Punters have found him to be a money‑maker, delivering roughly a 40 % return on investment for anyone who backed him throughout his career.
