About

Ballon D’or is a 3-year-old bay gelding from New Zealand, trained by P & S McKay, who operates out of Matamata. He is the offspring of the stallion U S Navy Flag and the mare Ireland’s Teardrop. Ballon D’or has not yet achieved a maiden victory, having competed in 7 races without a win. In his latest outing at Te Rapa on October 12, 2024, he was ridden by Matthew Cartwright and secured 6th place, finishing behind the winner, Lux Libertas.
