About
Fighting Idol is a 6yo chestnut gelding from Australia, trained by Neil Hocking. He is by Fighting Sun out of Rock Idol and has earned six wins in his career. On 2 June 2024 at Kilcoy, he captured his most significant victory, claiming the $35,000 Benchmark 65 Handicap. He has been a profitable runner for punters; backing him throughout his career would have produced an 86% return on investment.
