About

Hgranca De Thaix is an 8yo horse trained by B Connell of Kildare. He is by the stallion Saddler Maker out of Kapica De Thaix. To date he has won three races. On 3 May 2024 at Punchestown he secured his biggest triumph, winning the $63,130.00 Ems Copiers Novice Handicap Chase (listed). The horse has proved a worthwhile prospect for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 26% return on investment.
