About
Kovanis is a 6yo g trained by G Elliott in Meath. He is by Tunis out of Nova D'auteuil and has secured three wins so far. On 6 November 2025 at Clonmel he captured his most important victory, taking the $15,000.00 Mdh prize. The horse has proved profitable for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 19% return on investment.
