About
Malecon is a 5yo chestnut gelding from Australia, trained by Michael G Nolan in Toowoomba. He is by American Pharoah out of the mare Aperitif. To date, he has recorded four victories. On 19 Oct 2024 at Toowoomba, he captured his biggest win, the $24,500 Maiden Set Weight. Punters have found him to be a lucrative runner; backing his entire career would have yielded a 176% ROI.
