Commander Meroo (AUS) Horse
About
Commander Meroo is a 9yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by John Macmillan of Goolwa. He is by the stallion Epaulette out of the dam Avoid Lightning. So far he has collected five wins. His most notable victory arrived on 24 Aug 2024 at Morphettville Parks, when he captured the $50,000 4yo+ Restricted 62 Handicap. He has proved a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 15% return on investment.
