Elusive Catch
(NZ)About
Elusive Catch is a 13yo brown mare from New Zealand trained by Darren Weir. She is sired by the stallion Elusive City out of the dam Milord a Lady. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $145,631, Elusive Catch is considered a racehorse with above-average ability. On May 3, 2014, at Riccarton Park, Elusive Catch, ridden by Chris Johnson, secured her most notable victory in the $50000 Champagne Stks, defeating Second Time Lucky. She has been a profitable horse for bettors throughout her career. Backing Elusive Catch throughout her career would have yielded a 27% return on investment. Elusive Catch has retired from racing, with her final race on September 3, 2016, at Moonee Valley.
