About

Zambezi Blonde is a 3yo chestnut gelding from Australia, trained by John Keys at Seven Mile Beach. He is by the stallion Stratosphere out of the mare Chi Gong. He has secured two race wins so far. His most significant victory occurred on 13 Mar 2026 at Launceston, capturing the $26000.00 Class 1 Hcp. Punters have found him profitable; betting on Zambezi Blonde throughout his career would have delivered a 31% return on investment.
