About

Casablanca Express is a 4yo bay gelding from Australia trained by David Payne. He is by Churchill out of Arabian Beauty. To date he has secured one win. On 19 Apr 2025 at Kembla Grange he earned his most notable victory, taking the $42,000 Maiden Set Weight. The horse has been a profitable choice for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 50% return on investment.
