About
Pontevico is a 3yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Matthew Hoysted at Eagle Farm. He is by Astern out of Ponte Roma. He has recorded one win so far. On 10 May 2026 at Sunshine Coast, he earned his most important victory, taking the $30,000 Qtis 3‑y‑o Maiden Hcp. Punters have found him profitable; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 550% return on investment.
