About
Gran Canaria is a 5yo b gelding (male) trained by W O Marwing/W H Marwing. He is by Vercingetorix out of Granja. To date he has won two races, including his most important victory on 2 Jul 2026 at Vaal in the $118770.00 Hcp. The horse has been profitable for bettors; a lifelong backer would have earned a 15% return on investment.
