About
In the Ffos Las R4 Sean Bowen Champion Jockey Handicap Chase (GBB Race), the 9yo ch Balkardy, trained by C. Williams, is a son of the stallion Balko out of the mare Kalimnos. Balkardy has accumulated seven victories in its career. On 3 April 2022 at Plumpton, the horse secured its most notable triumph, earning $13,794.00 in the Class 4 Handicap Chase. It has been a profitable prospect for bettors; a lifelong backing would have yielded a 56% return on investment.
