About

Ordo Ab Chao is a 16yo horse from Ireland trained by O Murphy at Wilmcote. He is by the stallion Heron Island out of the mare Houldyurwhist. To date he has claimed four victories, the most notable being on 24 Jan 2015 at Cheltenham when he captured the $30,000 Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2). Punters have found him rewarding; backing his entire career would have yielded a 66% return on investment. He retired after his final start on 22 Jul 2018 at Stratford.
