Mercante (AUS) Horse
About
Mercante is a 5yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Nigel Blackiston. He is by Dundeel out of Breccia. To date he has won two starts. His biggest victory came on 17 Jan 2025 at Pakenham in the $40,000 Benchmark 64 Handicap. The horse has been a reliable money-maker for punters; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 204% ROI.
