About
Ikigai is a 7yo dk b/br from the United States trained by E Hernandez. The horse is by Bayern out of Enchanting Lady. To date Ikigai has captured nine victories. Its biggest triumph came on 8th Jul 2023 at Monmouth Park, where it won the $60000.00 Claiming race. Bettors have found the horse to be a good value; a full‑career backer would have earned an 11% return on investment.
