About

Chocolate Royal is a 5yo brown/black gelding from Australia trained by Pat Carey and Harris Walker. He is by Dandino out of Star Of Persia. To date he has recorded three wins. On 13 August 2025 at Sandown Lakeside he claimed his biggest victory, taking the $50,000 3yo+ Benchmark 64 Handicap. Punters have found him to be a lucrative prospect; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 91% return on investment.
