About
Lux Mendes, a 4yo b from Japan trained by Ken Kozaki, is by the stallion Orfevre out of the mare Smart Mesnil. The horse has secured one victory so far, the most significant coming on 5 Jul 2025 at Kokura where it earned $10,600,000.00 in prize money. It has proven to be a profitable runner for bettors; backing Lux Mendes throughout its career would have generated a 310% return on investment.
