About

Naval Academy is a 5yo brown gelding from Australia, trained by Ciaron Maher in Newcastle. He is by Justify out of Kinetic Design. To date he has recorded five wins. On 23 Oct 2025 at Geelong he secured his biggest triumph, taking $75,000 in the 3yo+ Benchmark 84 Handicap. He has proved a lucrative runner for punters; staying with him throughout his career would have produced a 77% return on investment.
