About

Basso Caruso is a 6yo brown gelding from Australia trained by Dan McCarthy. He is by Deep Field out of Caruselle. He has accumulated seven wins so far. On 22 Mar 2025 at Berrigan he claimed his most important victory, the $12,000 Benchmark 50 Handicap. He has proven to be a profitable horse for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have delivered an 18% return on investment.
