About
Vaniteux is a 4yo bay or brown mare from Australia, trained by Dion & Raygan Koch. She is out of the dam Vainglorious and sired by Smart Missile. To date she has captured two victories, the most notable being the $25,000 Cl2 Hcp at Strathalbyn on 18 February 2026. Punters have found her profitable; backing her throughout her career would have yielded an 83% return on investment.
