About

Tekapo is a 7yo bay/brown gelding trained by Nell Carter. He is by Vadamos out of Snow Petal. He has earned three wins so far. On 27 June 2025 at Warracknabeal, he secured his biggest victory, taking the $27,000 Benchmark 52 Handicap. Over his career he has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him from the beginning would have produced a 23% return on investment.
