About
El Rio is a 2yo horse from Japan trained by Shigeru Sato. He is by the stallion Kiseki out of the mare Gold Karura and has recorded one win to date. On 12 March 2026 at Funabashi, El Rio captured his most notable victory, collecting $4,750,000 in Race 7 (cond). The horse has proved lucrative for bettors; a lifetime stake on El Rio would have generated a 20% return on investment.
