About
Nihancan is a 3yo bay colt trained by John Symons and Sheila Laxon in Macedon. He is by Reliable Man out of Arapaho Miss. He has recorded one win so far, the highlight coming on 21 May 2026 at Seymour where he claimed the $42,500 Maiden Plate. The horse has proved profitable for punters; a bettor who backed him from the start would have seen a 920% return on investment.
