About
Al Duca is a 6yo brown gelding from Australia trained by Anthony & Sam Freedman. He is by the stallion Al Maher out of the dam Sienna Sunrise. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $617,160, he is considered a racehorse of above‑average ability. On 11 Apr 2026 at Caulfield, ridden by Luke Currie, he claimed his most important win to date, taking the $175,000 Anniversary Vase and edging out Taken. He has been a profitable runner for bettors, delivering a 22% return on investment for anyone who backed him throughout his career.
