Balkans (AUS) Horse
About
Balkans is a 5yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Richard Litt at Warwick Farm. He is by Lonhro out of Ottoman. To date he has secured five victories. On 28 November 2025 at Canterbury he earned his most important win, claiming the $80,000 purse in the 5yo & up BM 78 Handicap. He has proved a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 27% return on investment.
