Chajaba (2016) Horse
About
Chajaba is a 9yo chestnut gelding trained by Tina Egan. He is by Keano out of Hostage and has recorded eight victories to date. On 24 May 2025 at Pukekura Raceway he secured his biggest triumph, winning the $40,000 Open Handicap. The horse has been a solid money‑maker for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 166% return on investment.
