About
The Spirit Of Zero, a 5yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by Yassy Nishitani. He is by the stallion Needs Further out of Fuji Spirit. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $221,435, he is viewed as having above‑average ability. On 5 February 2023 at Launceston, ridden by Ismail Toker, he captured his biggest victory to date in the $150,000 Gold Sovereign, beating Needs Sugar. Punters have found him profitable; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 19% return on investment.
