About
Naval Academy is a 6yo brown gelding from Australia, trained by Ciaron Maher in Cranbourne. His sire is the stallion Justify and his dam is Kinetic Design. He has won five races to date. On 23 Oct 2025 at Geelong he secured his biggest victory, earning the $75,000 Dual Choice Plate. Punters have found him profitable; backing him throughout his career would have yielded an 8% return on investment.
