Duffle Coat (2017) Horse
About
Competing in the Fairyhouse R6 BOYLE Sports Irish Grand National Chase (Extended Handicap Chase) (Grade 3), Duffle Coat is a 9yo gelding trained by G Elliott. He is by Alhebayeb out of Humilis. To date, Duffle Coat has secured five career victories. On 28 May 2024 at Ballinrobe, he earned his biggest win, claiming the $100,000.00 Cl1 Hcpchnhf prize. The horse has delivered solid returns for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded an 8% ROI.
