About
More Heroic is a 4yo bay or brown gelding from Australia, trained by Michael Grantham. He is by the stallion Pierro out of the mare Sookie. To date he has recorded one victory. On 2nd Jun 2025 at Northam he secured his biggest win, taking the $25,000 2yo+ Maiden Set Weight. The horse has delivered solid returns for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 180% ROI.
