About
Valentine Catcher is a 4yo gelding trained by T D Easterby in Malton. He is by the stallion Bated Breath out of the dam Flycatcher. So far he has recorded two career victories. On 13 Aug 2024 at Nottingham he secured his most important win, claiming the $10,329.00 Class 4 Handicap. The horse has consistently delivered profit for bettors, meaning a backer who supported him throughout would have realized a 100% return on investment.
