About

Taung is a 4yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Matt Cumani. He is by Turffontein out of Miss Elsa. To date, he has recorded three victories. On 26 Aug 2025 at Ballarat Synthetic, he captured his biggest triumph, winning the $50,000 Benchmark 78 Handicap. Punters have found him to be a money‑making runner; backing him through his career would have delivered a 76% return on investment.
