About

Valentini is a 2yo b from Japan trained by Koichi Shinkai. He is by the stallion Nadal out of the mare Aragonese and has secured 1 win so far. On 7 Sep 2025 at Nakayama, Valentini claimed his most important victory, taking $14,250,000.00 in the Newcomer Race (newc). The horse has been a profitable choice for bettors, and a backer who stayed with Valentini throughout his career would have realized a 50% return on investment.
