About

Travaial D'Orfevre is a 9yo horse trained by N W Alexander, who operates out of Kinneston. The colt is by Martaline out of Lady Needles and has secured four victories to date. On 7 January 2025 at Ayr, he achieved his most notable triumph, winning the $9,837.00 Class 4 Handicap. Over his career he has been a worthwhile selection for bettors; backing him from the start would have yielded a 15% return on investment.
