About
Viking Invasion is a 4yo bay gelding trained by Stuart Kendrick on the Sunshine Coast. He is out of the mare Empress Ella and sired by Mehmas. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $119,915, he is considered a horse of above‑average ability. On 20th Oct 2025 at Deauville, ridden by Maxime Guyon, he captured his biggest victory in the $50,300 Vulcain Listed Stakes, beating Aegean Prince. Punters have found him profitable; betting on him throughout his career would have yielded a 36% return on investment.
