About

Cheeto is a 4yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Bob McPherson. He is out of the stallion Universal Ruler and the mare Readabeel. To date, Cheeto has recorded two wins. His biggest triumph arrived on 14 Aug 2025 at Bunbury, when he won the $30,000 Class One Handicap. He has proved a profitable runner for bettors; a lifelong bet on Cheeto would have generated a 158% return on investment.
