About

Yiska, a 6yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by Melanie O'Gorman. He is by Smart Missile out of Anevay and has claimed six victories to date. His biggest triumph came on 25 Jan 2025 at Randwick, where he captured the $160,000 3yo+ Ch&g Benchmark 78 Handicap. Punters have found him profitable; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 76% return on investment.
