About

Vim Vitae is a 3yo chestnut gelding from Australia, trained by Liam Howley in Kyneton. He is by The Autumn Sun out of Prana. He has recorded a single win, which came on 20th Feb 2026 at Seymour when he took the $42500.00 Maiden Plate. The horse has proved profitable for punters; backing him throughout his career would have generated a 25% return on investment.
