About
Taka Speed is a 5yo bay gelding trained by Matt Laurie. His sire is Savabeel and his dam is Toffee Nose. To date he has won five races. On 15 Aug 2026 at Caulfield he captured his biggest victory, taking the $130000.00 Bm78 Hcp. He has been a lucrative runner for punters, and a full‑career backing would have yielded a 96% return on investment.
