About
Tsitsipas, a 4yo bay gelding, is trained by Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young in Cranbourne. He is by the stallion Staphanos out of the mare Lioness. To date he has secured five career victories. His most notable triumph came on 14 February 2025 at Moonee Valley, where he captured the $60,000 3yo+ Benchmark 70 Handicap. Punters have found him to be a money‑making runner; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 160% return on investment.
