About
Cape Crusader is a 6yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Tony & Maddysen Sears. He is by Heroic Valour out of Hesperos. To date he has recorded eight career wins. On 9 Dec 2023 at the Gold Coast he secured his most important triumph, taking the $30,000 Maiden Handicap. He has been a money-maker for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 3% ROI.
