About
Vapour Trail is a 4yo gelding trained by Vaughan Marshall. He is by Erik The Red out of Silver Stripe and has secured three career victories. On 2 November 2025 at Kenilworth, he captured his biggest triumph, winning the $332,502 Cape Classic (Grade 3) for 3‑year‑olds. The horse has been a profitable prospect for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 38% return on investment.
