Popilita (AUS) Horse
About
Popilita is a 5yo bay mare from Australia, trained by Graeme McCulloch. She is by Stratosphere out of Pin of Hope and has logged five wins in her career. On 23 Dec 2022 at Devonport’s Tapeta synthetic track, she captured her most important victory to date, taking the $27,000 2yo Maiden prize. Punters have found her to be a profitable runner; backing her throughout her career would have produced an 8% return on investment.
