Kenya
(IRE)About
Kenya is a 10yo bay gelding from Ireland trained by Robert Hickmott. He is sired by the stallion Galileo out of the dam Tender Morn. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $66,300, Kenya is considered a racehorse with above-average ability. On 22nd Oct 2017 at Leopardstown, Kenya, ridden by Donnacha O'Brien, achieved his most notable victory in the $60000 Killavullan Stakes (group 3), defeating McMunigal. He has been a profitable horse for punters. Backing Kenya throughout his career would have yielded an 113% return on investment. Kenya has retired from racing, with his final run on 25th Apr 2021 at Flemington.
