Spartan

Spartan, a five-year-old brown gelding from New Zealand, is trained by R & A McKay at Riccarton Park. Sired by War Decree and out of Sweet Revenge, Spartan has secured four victories in its racing career. Its most notable win came on August 7, 2024, at Riccarton Park Synthetic, where jockey Tegan Newman rode Spartan to victory in the $100,000 Special Condition Handicap, beating out Kana. Spartan has consistently proven to be a profitable bet for punters, yielding an 8% return on investment for those who have backed it throughout its career.
