About
Buttah, a 4yo gr/ro bred in the United States and trained by Ilkay Kantarmaci, is by Leofric out of Salty Little Sis. The gelding has recorded five wins, highlighted by a victory in the $200,000 John Morrissey Stakes at Saratoga on 7 Aug 2026. Punters have found him lucrative; a full‑career wager would have yielded a 58 % return on investment.
