About
In the Pinjarra R4 Duncan Equine Group Handicap, More Heroic is a 4yo bay/brown gelding from Australia trained by Michael Grantham in North Dandalup. He is by Pierro out of Sookie. He has recorded a single win, the $25,000 2yo+ Maiden Set Weight at Northam on 2 June 2025, which remains his top achievement. The horse has proved profitable for bettors; a career‑long backing would have generated a 250% return on investment.
