About

Kitzbuhel, a 6yo gelding trained by W P Mullins in Carlow, ran in the Cheltenham R2 Brown Advisory Novices' Chase (Grade 1), registered as The Broadway Novices' Chase (GBB Race). He is by stallion Cokoriko out of dam Valgardena and has amassed five career wins. On 26 Dec 2025 at Kempton he claimed his most significant victory, collecting the $98,370.00 Cl1 Nvch purse. The horse has proved lucrative for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 45% return on investment.
