About
Fighting Idol, a 6yo chestnut gelding from Australia, is trained by Neil Hocking in Deagon. He is by Fighting Sun out of Rock Idol and has secured six victories in his career. On 2 June 2024 at Kilcoy, he captured his biggest triumph, winning the $35,000 Benchmark 65 Handicap. Punters have found him profitable; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 71% return on investment.
