About

Maracana is a 6yo bay mare from New Zealand trained by Danny O'Brien. She is sired by the stallion Shamexpress out of the dam Rita Moreno. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $390,800, Maracana is considered a racehorse with above-average ability. On 25th May 2024 at Doomben, Maracana, ridden by Michael Dee, secured her most notable victory in the $200000 3yo+ F&m Open Set Weight With Penalties, defeating Osmose. She has been a profitable horse for punters. Backing Maracana throughout her career would have yielded a 253% return on investment.
