About
Horatius is a 3yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Clinton McDonald. He is out of the mare Polska and by the stallion Super Seth. To date he has won two races, including his biggest victory on 12 Dec 2025 at Cranbourne in the $45,000 Maiden Plate. Punters have found him profitable; backing him throughout his career would have generated a 250% return on investment.
