About
Cielao is a 5yo bay mare from Australia trained by Michael Hickmott. She is by the stallion Toronado out of the dam Ceylon and has secured five victories to date. Her most notable triumph came on 31 Jan 2026 at Morphettville, where she claimed the $55,000 Bm 72 Hcp. She has been a lucrative choice for bettors, and backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 155% return on investment.
