Kentucky Cajun (USA) Horse
About
Kentucky Cajun is a 4-year-old colt from the United States, trained by Joseph M. Foster. He is by Peppered Cat out of Shelly's Hope and has recorded four victories in his career. On 29 May 2024, he captured his biggest triumph at Louisiana Downs, winning the $20,000 Louisiana Downs Race 5. The horse has been a money-maker for bettors; backing him over his entire career would have yielded a 26% return on investment.
