Balzano (2020) Horse
About
Balzano is a 5yo chestnut gelding trained by Nikki White. His sire is the stallion Shooting to Win and his dam is Holly Holy. He has recorded four wins so far. On 4 July 2024 at Ashburton he secured his most important victory, taking the $40,000 Open Handicap. The horse has been a money‑maker for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 55% return on investment.
