About
Kinnaird, a 3yo bay/brown colt from Australia, is trained by Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson, based in Matamata. He is by Home Affairs out of Orinda. Having secured a Group Two victory and accumulated $144,411 in earnings, he is considered a very capable racehorse. On 1 January 2026 at Ellerslie, Opie Bosson rode him to his biggest win, the $225,000 2yo Open Set Weight, beating Harvey Wallbanger. He has been a profitable selection for bettors; a lifelong backing would have yielded an 88% return on investment.
