About
Laafi, a 6yo b trained by W Durkan in Ireland, is by the stallion Cloth Of Stars out of Mediteranea. He has won four races, highlighted by his biggest victory on 26 Oct 2024 at Doncaster in the $44267.00 Cl2 Hcp. The horse has been a profitable choice for punters; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 352% return on investment.
