Mufhasa (foaled 7 September 2004), was a New Zealand Thoroughbred racehorse who won a number of Group races in New Zealand and Australia in a career stretching from 2007 to 2013.[6] He was known as King Mufhasa in Australia.[7]
Mufhasa was trained by Stephen McKee and ridden in the majority of his races by Samantha Spratt.[8] Towards the end of his career he was trained by Bruce Wallace and he was cared for throughout his career by strapper Amy Doran.[9]
His win in the 2012 Windsor Park Plate was his tenth and final Group 1 victory. [10]
Mufhasa was voted the New Zealand Horse of the Year for the 2009 and 2012 seasons. In 2021 he was inducted into the New Zealand Racing Hall of Fame.
