About
The Great Armada is a 5yo chestnut gelding from Australia trained by Jane Clement. He is by Merchant Navy out of Martilago. So far he has recorded six wins, highlighted by his biggest victory on 2 Aug 2024 at Coffs Harbour, where he captured the $50000.00 Class 2 Handicap. He has been a lucrative runner for punters; backing him throughout his career would have generated a 55% return on investment.
