About

King Zephyr is a 5yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Grahame Begg at Cranbourne. He is out of the stallion Hallowed Crown and the mare Divine Breeze. To date, he has secured six wins. On 27 Sep 2025 at Sandown Hillside, he achieved his most important triumph, winning the $130000.00 3yo+ Benchmark 84 Handicap. He has been a lucrative runner for punters, offering a 48% return on investment for those who supported him throughout his career.
