Awhina

Awhina is a 4-year-old bay mare from New Zealand, trained by Nicholas Bishara at Ardmore Lodge. She is the offspring of the stallion Derryn and the mare Ebony Ayes. Throughout her career, Awhina has won three races. Her most notable victory occurred on September 27, 2024, at Te Rapa, where she was ridden by Masahiro Hashizume and triumphed in the $40,000 Benchmark 75 Handicap, beating Irrigate. She has proven to be a profitable horse for bettors; backing Awhina throughout her career would have resulted in a 106 percent return on investment.
