About
Vendaval is a 4yo b from Japan trained by Mitsunori Makiura. He is by Drefong out of Love As Gift. To date he has recorded two wins. On 10 Jan 2026 at Kyoto he secured his most valuable triumph, collecting $15,620,000.00 in an Allowance Race. He has been a rewarding choice for bettors; a lifelong backing would have generated a 19% return on investment.
