About

Tuvalu is a 7yo bay gelding (male) from Australia trained by Lindsey Smith, who is based at Geelong. He is sired by the stallion Kermadec out of the dam Hangin' Tough. Given that he has won at Group One level and has amassed $2,037,050 in career earnings, Tuvalu is regarded as an elite class of racehorse. On 8th Oct 2022 at Caulfield, Tuvalu was ridden by Jarrod Fry and scored his most significant win to date, getting the money in the $1000000 Toorak Handicap, defeating Laws Of Indices. He has proven a profitable horse for the punters over the journey. If you had backed Tuvalu throughout his career you'd have achieved a 60% return on investment.
