High Class Hero (2017)
About
High Class Hero is an 8yo ch trained by W P Mullins, who operates out of Carlow. The colt is by Sulamani out of Mil Et Une Nui Flo. To date he has secured seven victories. His biggest triumph came on 22 Oct 2023 at Limerick, where he captured the $16 062 Rathsallagh Country House Novice Hurdle (Listed). He has consistently delivered value for bettors, and backing him throughout his career would have produced a 7% return on investment.
