About
Vaniteux is a 4yo bay or brown mare from Australia, trained by Dion & Raygan Koch at Strathalbyn 1. She is by Smart Missile out of Vainglorious. To date she has recorded two wins. Her most notable triumph came on 18 Feb 2026 at Strathalbyn, when she claimed the $25000.00 Cl2 Hcp. The horse has been a money‑maker for punters; a full‑career backing would have yielded a 42% return on investment.
