About
Nearco Frod is a 4yo chestnut gelding trained by Tony and Calvin McEvoy in Ballarat. He is by the stallion Hunter's Light out of the mare Tequila Frod. To date he has captured six victories, the most notable coming on 22 Aug 2026 at Sandown Hillside when he won the $150,000 Hcp. Punters have found him profitable; a career‑long backer would have earned a 120% return on investment.
