About
Aguila Negra, a 3yo b foaled in the United States and trained by Chris Banks, is by Catholic Boy out of Maltese Googol. The horse has won two races so far. Its biggest victory came on 18 Aug 2026 at Ellis Park, where it captured the $40,000 Race 7 purse. Punters have found it to be a money‑maker; backing the horse throughout its career would have yielded a 13% return on investment.
