About

Saigon Tea is a 15yo bay mare from New Zealand trained by Chris Waller. She is by the stallion Thorn Park out of the dam Boulevardofdreams. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $344,704, Saigon Tea is considered a racehorse of above-average ability. On 13th Dec 2014 at Royal Randwick, Saigon Tea, ridden by Glyn Schofield, secured her most notable victory in the $100000 Christmas Cup, beating Terai. She has been a lucrative horse for bettors throughout her career. Backing Saigon Tea consistently would have yielded a 28% return on investment. Saigon Tea has finished her racing career, last competing on 13th Dec 2014 at Royal Randwick.
