About
Steel Trap is a 3yo chestnut filly from Australia trained by Tony & Calvin McEvoy. She is by King's Legacy out of Lochita. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $218,809, she is considered a racehorse of above-average talent. On 10 May 2025 at Morphettville, Jamie Melham rode Steel Trap to her biggest victory, capturing the $150,000 David Coles AM Stakes over Brave Design. She has consistently delivered profit for bettors, and backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 48% ROI.
