Balnikhov

Balnikhov is a 5-year-old dark bay or brown gelding from Ireland, trained by Philip D’Amato. He is the offspring of the stallion Adaay and the mare Leeward. Throughout his career, Balnikhov has won four races. His most notable victory came on April 30, 2023, at Golden Gate Fields, where he was ridden by Umberto Rispoli and claimed first place in the $150,000 San Francisco Mile Stakes (Group 3), beating Rio King. He has proven to be a lucrative horse for bettors, providing a 25 percent return on investment for those who have supported him throughout his racing career.
