About
Panda Boy is a 10yo gelding trained by M Brassil from Kildare. He is by Valirann out of Ballymartintheatre. The horse has won five races so far. On 28 Dec 2021 at Leopardstown, Panda Boy captured his most notable victory, taking the $30,000 Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle (qualifier). He has proven a profitable runner for punters; supporting him throughout his career would have delivered a 138% return on investment.
