About

War Of Succession is a 5yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson at Riccarton Park. He is by Tavistock out of Ziffel and has recorded four wins to date. His most notable triumph came on 18 Oct 2025 at Ellerslie, where he captured the $55,000 Benchmark 75 Handicap. The horse has proven lucrative for bettors, delivering a 60% return on investment for those who supported him throughout his career.
