Island Hop (2016) Horse
About
Island Hop is a 9yo bay gelding trained by Kevin Myers, based at Wanganui. His sire is Swiss Ace and his dam is Chapinta. He has won seven races so far. On 15 November 2025 at Riccarton Park, he secured his biggest victory, taking the $65,000 Benchmark 75 Handicap. He has been a lucrative choice for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded an 81% return on investment.
