About

Towering Vision is a 3yo bay gelding trained by Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson at Riccarton Park. He is by Circus Maximus out of Qiji Vision. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $111,904, he is viewed as a horse of above‑average ability. On 3 May 2025 at Te Rapa, Craig Grylls rode him to his most important victory, winning the $80,000.00 2yo Open Set Weight and beating Navy Dreams. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 107% return on investment.
