About
Utilitarian is a 6yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by John Dunn and Krystal Bishop. He is by Reward for Effort out of Sylkat Eclipse. He has recorded four wins in his career. His most important victory occurred on 17 Dec 2025 at Port Lincoln, where he captured the $23,000 Bm 72 Handicap. The horse has been a profitable choice for punters; backing him over his entire career would have yielded a 58% return on investment.
