About
Kosta, a 5yo bay gelding, is trained by Mike Breslin at Awapuni. He is by War Decree out of High Esteem and has captured three victories in his career. On 26 Oct 2025 at Trentham he secured his most notable win, taking the $40,000 Benchmark 65 Handicap. Punters have found him profitable; backing him throughout would have yielded a 25% return on investment.
