About

Savoca, a 5yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by Paul Perry. He is by Choisir out of The Look and has secured four career victories. On 12 Sep 2025 at Tuncurry, he captured his biggest triumph, winning the $50,000 Benchmark 66 Handicap. Throughout his career he has been a money‑maker for bettors; backing him from the start would have yielded a 10% ROI.
