Heroic Chief (AUS)
About
Heroic Chief is an 8yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Dale Groves. He is by Rubick out of Edgeton. To date he has recorded six victories. On 6 Aug 2021 at Sportsbet‑Ballarat Synthetic he captured his biggest triumph, winning the $35,000 Maiden Plate. The horse has been a money‑maker for bettors; a lifelong backer would have earned a 66% return on investment.
