About

Facundo is a 4yo bay/brown gelding from Australia, trained by Kelly Schweida. He is by National Defense out of Gris Dame and has recorded five victories to date. His biggest triumph came on 4 Oct 2025 at Doomben, where he captured the $85,000 C,g&e Nmw Hcp. The horse has consistently delivered profit for bettors, and a full‑career backing would have yielded a 50% ROI.
