About
Vendaval is a 5yo bay horse from Japan trained by Mitsunori Makiura. He is by Drefong out of Love As Gift and has recorded two wins to date. On 10 Jan 2026 at Kyoto he earned his biggest victory, taking $15620000.00 in an allowance race. The runner has been profitable for bettors; a career‑long backing would have produced a 6% return on investment.
