About
Placo, a 5yo bay gelding, is trained by Luke O'Connor. He is by Starspangledbanner out of Spinamiss and has secured six victories to date. On 4 July 2026 at Murray Bridge, he claimed his biggest triumph, winning the $65,000 Bm 74 Handicap. Punters have found him consistently rewarding; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 30% return on investment.
