About

King Mahuta, a 5yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by Brett Pope. He is by the stallion Mahuta out of Strawberry Street. To date he has secured five victories, including a standout performance on 16 Aug 2025 at Broome where he captured the $100,000 Broome Cup. The horse has been a profitable pick for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 40% ROI.
