About
Setanta is a 9yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Y S Tsui in Hong Kong. He is by Fastnet Rock out of Legally Bay. As a stakes winner with total earnings of $1,493,439, he is considered a racehorse of above‑average class. On 5 June 2021 at Eagle Farm, ridden by Ryan Maloney, he captured his biggest triumph, the $200,000 Queensland Day Stakes, beating Mass Destruction. He has consistently been a money‑maker for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 62% return on investment.
