About

Island Hop is a 9yo bay gelding trained by Kevin Myers, based at Wanganui. He is by Swiss Ace out of Chapinta. So far, Island Hop has recorded six wins. On 13 Nov 2024 at Riccarton Park, he captured his most valuable triumph, winning the $65,000 Benchmark 75 Handicap. He has proved a lucrative runner for punters; backing him across his career would have delivered a 49% return on investment.
