Paladin (2021)
About
Paladin is a 4yo chestnut trained by C Johnston. He is by Justify out of Golconda. The horse has recorded four wins to date. On 23 July 2023 at Haydock he secured his biggest victory, taking the $5,400 Marcus Dunning Big 60th EBF Novice Stakes. Punters have found him lucrative; a bettor who had supported Paladin throughout his career would have realised a 63% return on investment.
