About
Montador is a 4yo bay horse from the United States trained by Michael Stidham. He is by Nyquist out of Lady Montdore and has recorded three wins so far. His premier victory arrived on 29 Aug 2025 at Kentucky Downs, where he secured the $170000.00 Md purse. The horse has been lucrative for bettors; backing Montador throughout his career would have produced an 8% return on investment.
