About
Taka Speed is a 4yo bay gelding (male) trained by Matt Laurie. He is by Savabeel out of Toffee Nose. To date he has secured four victories in his racing record. On 28 Jan 2026 at Sandown Hillside he captured his biggest triumph, winning the $55,000 Bm66 Handicap. The horse has consistently delivered profit for bettors, and a career‑long backer would have earned a 149% ROI.
