About

Claidhamh Mor, a 7yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by Gemma Rielly in Pakenham. He is by Dundeel out of Mel's Pocket and has tallied nine wins so far. On 18 Nov 2023 at Caulfield, he secured his biggest victory, taking the $500000.00 Open Handicap. The horse has been a profitable choice for punters; wagering on him throughout his career would have yielded about a 90% return on investment.
