About
Grandero Bello, a 10yo bay horse trained by E & P Harty, competes in the Gowran Park R4 Albert Bartlett Triple Crown Series at the Punchestown Festival 2026 Qualifier Handicap Hurdle. He is by Great Pretender out of the mare Tchi Tchi Bang Bang. To date he has recorded four victories. His standout performance came on 27 Oct 2024 at Galway, where he secured the $22,001.00 Hcpchnhf prize. The horse has been a lucrative choice for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 149% return on investment.
