About
Suntora, a 4yo bay mare from Australia, is trained by Nick Ryan in Flemington. She is by Toronado out of Kansas Sunflower. As a stakes winner with $417,810 in earnings, she is considered above‑average ability. On 9 Feb 2025 at Hobart, ridden by Jamie Melham, she captured her biggest victory in the $125,000 3yo F Open Set Weight with Penalties, beating Silver Dagger. Throughout her career she has been a profitable choice for bettors; backing her from the start would have yielded a 9% ROI.
