About

Zulfiqar is a 5yo bay gelding (male) from Australia trained by Richard Litt, who is based at Warwick Farm. He is sired by the stallion Exceed And Excel out of the dam Sayf Shamal. Given that he is a stakes winner and has amassed $320,890 in career earnings, Zulfiqar is regarded as a racehorse with above-average ability. On 4th Feb 2023 at Sandown Hillside, Zulfiqar was ridden by Ben Melham and scored his most significant win to date, getting the money in the $200000.00 Open Set Weight With Penalties, defeating Veecee. He has proven a profitable horse for the punters over the journey. If you had backed Zulfiqar throughout his career you'd have achieved a 89% return on investment.
