About
Island Hop is a 10yo bay gelding trained by Kevin Myers in Wanganui. He is by Swiss Ace out of Chapinta and has amassed seven wins so far. On 15th Nov 2025 at Riccarton Park, he secured his most important triumph, taking the $65000.00 Benchmark 75 Handicap. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; wagering on him throughout his career would have produced a 51% return on investment.
