About
Ardalio is a 5yo bay mare trained by Stephen Marsh. She is by Ardrossan out of Bridgewater. As a stakes winner with $432,300 in career earnings, she is viewed as above‑average. On 25 Jan 2025 at Ellerslie, Michael McNab rode her to her most important win, the $250,000 3yo Open Set Weight With Penalties, defeating Vegas Queen. She has been a profitable selection for punters; backing her throughout her career would have produced a 57% return on investment.
