About
Giapponese is a 3yo chestnut colt from Australia trained by Stephen & Jordan Lee at Ballina. He is by Admire Mars out of Bounding Along. He has won three races to date. On 31 Jan 2026 at Eagle Farm he secured his most important win in the $85,000 Qtis 3‑y‑o Hcp. He has proven a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 687% return on investment.
