Avakate (2018)
About
Avakate is a 7yo b gelding trained by Neil R. Morris. He is by the stallion Affinisea out of the dam Slani. To date the horse has secured four wins. Its most notable victory arrived on 8 Aug 2025 at Colonial Downs, where it captured the $100,000 handicap. Avakate has proved a rewarding prospect for punters, and backing him throughout his career would have generated a 336% return on investment.
