About

Shamus Award is a 14yo bay from Australia trained by Danny O'Brien. It is sired by the stallion Snitzel out of the dam Sunset Express. Shamus Award has won 2 races in its career so far. On 26th Oct 2013 at Moonee Valley, Shamus Award achieved its most notable victory, taking the $3000000 Sportingbet Cox Plate. It has been a profitable horse for the punters. If you had backed Shamus Award throughout its career you'd have achieved a 83% return on investment. Shamus Award has retired from racing, last running on the 29th Mar 2014 at Rosehill Gardens. Shamus Award was purchased for $230,000 at the 2012 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale (Session 2).
