About

Chado is a 4yo gelding from the United States trained by Michelle Lovell. It is by the stallion American Freedom out of the dam Oriole. Chado has secured three victories in its career so far. On 23 Aug 2025 at Colonial Downs, Chado captured its most significant win to date, taking the $55,000.00 Race 2 purse. The horse has been profitable for bettors; backing Chado throughout its career would have delivered a 65% return on investment.
