About

Mr Hansel is a 8yo brown/black Australian gelding trained by Dane Smith in Stawell. He is by Kuroshio out of Star Lani and has recorded three career victories. On 17 Mar 2024 at Yarra Valley, he notched his most valuable win, taking the $37,500 3yo+ Maiden Set Weight. The horse has been a money‑maker for punters; staying with him throughout his career would have produced a 26% return on investment.
