About

Chajaba is an 8-year-old chestnut gelding from New Zealand, trained by Tina Egan. He is the offspring of the stallion Keano and the mare Hostage. Throughout his career, Chajaba has won 7 races. On August 17, 2024, at New Plymouth Raceway, he was ridden by Ciel Butler and achieved his biggest victory to date, winning the $40,000 Open Handicap by defeating Make Time. He has proven to be a lucrative horse for bettors, yielding a 227 percent return on investment for those who have backed him throughout his racing career.
