About
Herculeus is a 4yo gelding trained by W Muir & C Grassick, based at Lambourn. He is by Expert Eye out of Prodigious. The horse has recorded two wins, highlighted by a $13,772.00 Cl4 Handicap triumph at Newbury on 29 Aug 2025. He has proved a profitable runner for bettors; a career‑long backer would have earned a 106% return on investment.
