About
Marka, a 3yo bay from the United States, is trained by Todd W. Fincher. Sired by Marking out of the dam Tilla Cat, the horse has recorded one win. Its most notable triumph came on 16 February 2026 at Sunland Park, where it captured the $100,000 Peppers Pride Stakes. The animal has proved a profitable wager for punters, delivering a 150% return on investment for anyone who backed it throughout its career.
