About
Turn The Ace is an 8yo bay gelding trained by Suzy Gordon. He is by the stallion Turn Me Loose out of the mare Frescoes. As a stakes winner with total earnings of $273,236, he is considered a racehorse of above‑average ability. On 8 May 2021 at Te Rapa, ridden by R. Elliot, he secured his most important victory in the $50,000 Waikato Equine Vet Centre Stakes, beating Rangi Toa. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 1% return on investment.
