About
Ruji is a 5yo bay stallion trained by Suzy Gordon. He is by Staphanos out of My Big Love. To date, he has won two races. On 5 Dec 2025 at Riccarton Park Synthetic he secured his most important victory, earning the $40000.00 Restricted 60 Handicap. He has proven to be a profitable runner for punters; backing Ruji throughout his career would have delivered a 37% return on investment.
