Lucia Valentina
(NZ)About
Lucia Valentina is a 14yo brown mare from New Zealand trained by Kris Lees. She is by the stallion Savabeel out of the dam Staryn Glenn. Having won at Group One level and earned $4,351,310 throughout her career, Lucia Valentina is considered an elite racehorse. On 9th Apr 2016 at Royal Randwick, Lucia Valentina, ridden by Damien Oliver, secured her most notable victory, winning the $4,000,000 Queen Elizabeth Stakes and defeating The United States (IRE). She has been a profitable horse for bettors. Backing Lucia Valentina throughout her career would have yielded a 45% return on investment. Lucia Valentina has retired from racing, with her final run on 22nd Oct 2016 at Moonee Valley. She was purchased for $60,000 at the 2012 NZB Premier Yearling Sale.
