Puccini
(NZ)About
Puccini is a 14yo bay from New Zealand trained by Wayne Walters. It is sired by the stallion Encosta de Lago out of the dam Our Miss Opera. Having won at Group One level and earned $1,084,698 throughout its career, Puccini is considered an elite racehorse. On 1st Mar 2014 at Ellerslie, Puccini, ridden by Michael Walker, achieved its most notable victory, winning the $750000 NZ Derby and defeating Rising Romance. It has been a profitable horse for bettors. If you had backed Puccini throughout its career, you would have achieved a 244% return on investment. Puccini has retired from racing, with its final race on 29th Apr 2017 at Morphettville Parks.
