About
The Journo is a 5yo bay gelding from Australia trained by G & N Searle & B Callanan. He is by the stallion Written By out of the mare Blevola Miss. He has secured two career wins, highlighted by a victory on 19 Oct 2024 at Morphettville in the $50,000 Class 1 Handicap. Punters have found him profitable; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 13% return on investment.
