About
Italus, a 3yo bay or brown gelding from Australia trained by Angus Stewart, is by Wootton Bassett out of Runaway Jesse. He has recorded one win, which came on 16 Jun 2026 at Bathurst when he captured the $27,000 Maiden Plate, his biggest triumph to date. He has proved a value play for bettors, delivering a 60% return on investment for those who backed him throughout his career.
