About
Shaka Zulu, a 6yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by Rob Gulberti. His sire is Rommel and his dam is Elusive Zulu. To date he has secured three victories, the most notable being the $60,000 Abrolhos Plate at Geraldton on 16 Apr 2023. He has been a valuable starter for bettors, delivering a 24% return on investment for those who backed him throughout his career.
