About
Gracious Express is a 6yo bay gelding trained by P Yiu in Hong Kong. He is by Churchill out of Polly Perkins and has collected six wins so far. His most notable triumph arrived on 19 Oct 2025 at Sha Tin, when he won the $1,860,000 Class 3 Handicap. The horse has proved profitable for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have generated an 85% return on investment.
