About
Al Duca is a 5yo brown gelding from Australia trained by Clayton Douglas. He is by Al Maher out of Sienna Sunrise. As a stakes winner with $587,160 in earnings, he is regarded as a racehorse of above‑average ability. On 11 Apr 2026 at Caulfield, jockey Luke Currie rode Al Duca to his most important win, securing the $175000.00 Anniversary Vase and beating Taken. He has proven a profitable horse for punters, and wagering on him throughout his career would have produced a 39% return on investment.
