About

Aztec Ruler is a 5yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Stefan Vahala. He is sired by the stallion Universal Ruler out of the dam I Love Rubies. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $731,565, Aztec Ruler is considered a racehorse with above-average ability. On March 9, 2024, at Bunbury, Aztec Ruler, ridden by Steven Parnham, secured his most notable victory in the $150,000 2yo+ Open Handicap, defeating Red Fifty Three. He has been a profitable horse for bettors. Backing Aztec Ruler throughout his career would have yielded a 1% return on investment.
