About

Makabar is a 9-year-old bay gelding from New Zealand, trained by M & M Pitman at Riccarton Park. He is the offspring of the stallion Swiss Ace and the mare Sierra Gold. Throughout his career, Makabar has secured 9 race victories. His most notable win occurred on August 5, 2023, at Riccarton Park, where he was ridden by Tina Comignaghi and triumphed in the $45,000 Open Handicap, beating Midnight Runner. He has been a profitable horse for bettors over time, offering an 83 percent return on investment for those who supported him throughout his racing career.
