About

Natural Momentum is an 8yo grey/black gelding trained by Bruce Tapper. He is by Natural Destiny out of Contrary. He has recorded three wins so far. On 21 July 2024 at Oamaru, he claimed his biggest victory, taking the $40,000 Open Handicap. He has been a profit‑making horse for punters; backing him throughout his career would have produced an 8% return on investment.
