About
Quintessa is a 5yo brown mare trained by Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson. She is out of the dam Chaquinta and by the stallion Shamus Award. With a Group One victory and career earnings of $1,019,703, she is considered an elite racehorse. On 13 Jan 2024 at Trentham, jockey Opie Bosson guided her to her biggest triumph, winning the $500,000 3‑year‑old Open Set Weight against Zabmanzor. Punters have found her to be a lucrative prospect; a lifelong bet on Quintessa would have yielded a 194% ROI.
