About

Makusha, a 6yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by Rod Symons. He is by Magnus out of Kusha. To date he has recorded five wins. His most notable triumph came on 8 Dec 2023 at Moonee Valley, where he captured the $60,000 3yo+ Ch&g Bm70 Handicap. Throughout his career he has been a lucrative pick for bettors; backing him from the start would have yielded a 36% ROI.
