About
Keitel is a 6yo grey gelding from Australia trained by David Vandyke. He is by Hellbent out of Plausible and has won eight races to date. On 11 Jul 2026 at Rockhampton he earned his biggest victory, taking the $150,000 Cup Open Quality Handicap. He has been a profit‑generating horse for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 15% return on investment.
