About

Balkans is a 5yo bay gelding (male) from Australia trained by Richard Litt, who is based at Warwick Farm. He is sired by the stallion Lonhro out of the dam Ottoman. Balkans has managed to win 4 races in his career so far. On 28th Feb 2025 at Canterbury, Balkans scored his most significant win to date, getting the money in the $80000.00 3yo+ Benchmark 78 Handicap. He has proven a profitable horse for the punters over the journey. If you had backed Balkans throughout his career you'd have achieved a 2% return on investment.
