About
Shifa, a 4yo chestnut mare bred in Australia, is trained by Iky Foustok. She is by Santos out of Benedictus and has recorded a single win in her career. On 7 February 2026 at Walcha she captured the $12,000 Maiden Plate, her most valuable victory to date. Punters have found her lucrative; betting on her from the start would have doubled their stake, delivering a 100% return.
