Meridius (AUS) Horse
About
Meridius, a 6yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by Lloyd Kennewell. His sire is Extreme Choice and his dam is Jardine. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $604,040, he is considered to possess above‑average talent. On 11 Mar 2024 at Morphettville, jockey Jamie Melham guided him to his biggest victory, capturing the $120,000 Open Quality and edging out Thirsty Guest. Throughout his career he has been a lucrative choice for bettors; backing him from start to finish would have yielded a 60% ROI.
