About
Italus, a 3yo bay or brown gelding from Australia under trainer Angus Stewart, is by Wootton Bassett out of Runaway Jesse. To date he has recorded one victory. On 16 Jun 2026 at Bathurst he captured his biggest prize, winning the $27,000 Maiden Plate. The horse has been a solid money‑maker for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 300% return on investment.
