Encountered
(IRE)About
Encountered is a 6yo brown gelding from Ireland trained by D J Hall. He is sired by the stallion Churchill out of the dam Enrol. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $2,617,602, Encountered is considered a racehorse with above-average ability. On 5th Nov 2023 at Sha Tin, Encountered, ridden by Derek Leung, achieved his most notable victory in the $4,200,000 3yo+ Open Handicap, defeating Champion Dragon. He has been a profitable horse for bettors. Backing Encountered throughout his career would have yielded a 573% return on investment.
