About
Varjak is a 3yo bay gelding trained by Ciaron Maher. He is out of the mare Tiffany Gem and sired by Contributer. To date he has recorded one victory, which came on 17 Apr 2025 at Matamata in the $17,000 2yo Maiden Set Weight, his most notable win. Punters have found him profitable; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 22% return on investment.
