About

Asian Master is a 8yo trained by A Costello. He is by Shirocco out of the dam Wakare. To date, Asian Master has secured four victories. Its most notable triumph came on 20 January 2024 at Navan, where it earned the $16,500 Nvh prize. The horse has been a lucrative option for bettors, and backing Asian Master throughout its career would have yielded a 144% return on investment.
