About
Placo is a 5yo bay gelding trained by Luke O'Connor at Morphettville. He is by the stallion Starspangledbanner out of the dam Spinamiss. So far he has secured four wins. On 19 Jul 2025 at Morphettville Parks he claimed his biggest victory, taking the $55000.00 Class 2 Handicap. The horse has consistently been profitable for bettors, and backing him throughout his career would have produced a 37% return on investment.
