About
Small Town Hero, a 6yo bay gelding, is trained by Brett Conlon of Cranbourne. He is by Shamexpress out of Fjall. To date he has won three races, including his most important victory on 27 June 2024 at Bendigo, where he captured the $37,500 Maiden Set Weight. Punters have found him profitable; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 45% return on investment.
