About

King Of Gosford is a 5yo colt trained by Philip D'Amato. He is sired by the stallion Zoustar out of the dam Miss Sugars. To date, King Of Gosford has recorded seven career victories. On 27 May 2025 at Santa Anita, he captured his most important triumph, winning the $300000.00 Shoemaker Mile Stakes. The horse has been a profitable choice for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 3% return on investment.
