About

Taj Dragon is a 6yo bay gelding (male) from Ireland trained by P C Ng, who is based at Hong Kong. He is sired by the stallion Mehmas out of the dam Next Trial. Given that he is a stakes winner and has amassed $2,437,066 in career earnings, Taj Dragon is regarded as a racehorse with above-average ability. On 1st Jan 2024 at Sha Tin, Taj Dragon was ridden by Andrea Atzeni and scored his most significant win to date, getting the money in the $4200000 3yo+ Open Handicap, defeating Healthy Happy. He has proven a profitable horse for the punters over the journey. If you had backed Taj Dragon throughout his career you'd have achieved a 33% return on investment.
