About
Sotirio is a 7yo bay gelding trained by Matthew Eales at Awapuni. His sire is the stallion Wrote and his dam is Eleni Whirl. To date, Sotirio has secured six victories. His most notable triumph came on 10 May 2025 at Trentham, where he captured the $50,000 Benchmark 75 Handicap. He has been a rewarding prospect for bettors throughout his campaign, and backing him over his entire career would have delivered a 42% return on investment.
