The Spirit Of Zero (AUS)
About
The Spirit Of Zero is a 5yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Yassy Nishitani, based at Spreyton. He is by the stallion Needs Further out of Fuji Spirit. As a stakes winner with $211,090 in career earnings, he is viewed as a racehorse of above‑average ability. On 5 February 2023 at Launceston, he was ridden by Ismail Toker and secured his biggest triumph, the $150,000 Open Set Weight, defeating Needs Sugar. He has proven to be a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 58% return on investment.
