About

The Mornington R8 Sportsbet Mornington Cup features Bankers Choice, a 7yo bay gelding from New Zealand trained by Glen Thompson. His sire is Mongolian Khan and his dam is Signorina. With a stakes win and career earnings of $1,295,298, Bankers Choice is considered a horse with above-average ability. On November 19, 2022, at Ballarat, Bankers Choice, ridden by John Allen, achieved his most notable victory in the $500,000 Ballarat Cup, defeating Atishu. He has been a profitable choice for bettors throughout his career. Backing Bankers Choice consistently would have yielded a 61% return on investment.
