About
Bancoora is a 5yo bay or brown gelding from Australia trained by Paul Preusker. He is by the stallion Bel Esprit out of Jungle Dance. To date he has recorded three wins, the most notable being the $50,000 Ch&g Benchmark 64 Handicap at Gawler on 5 July 2025. Punters have found him profitable; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 33% return on investment.
