About

Steel Trap is a 3yo chestnut filly from Australia trained by T & C McEvoy at Flemington. She is out of Lochita and by King's Legacy. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $217,709, she is considered an above‑average racehorse. On 10 May 2025 at Morphettville, ridden by Jamie Kah, she captured her biggest victory in the $150,000 Open Set Weight, beating Brave Design. Punters have found her to be a lucrative mount; backing her throughout her career would have yielded an 85% return on investment.
