About
Cairo is a 5yo b racehorse trained by Alice Haynes. He is by Quality Road out of the mare Cuff and, as a stakes winner who has earned $1,034,897, he is considered to have above‑average ability. On 15 Oct 2022 at Leopardstown, with Wayne Lordan aboard, Cairo secured his most important victory to date, winning the $50 000 Cl1 and beating Sierra Blanca. The horse has consistently delivered value to bettors; a career‑long backing would have produced a 322 % return on investment.
