About
Vagabond Hero is a 5yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Tom Conlan in Ballarat. He is by the stallion Manhattan Rain out of the mare Karlesha. To date he has secured three victories, the most notable coming on 4 Aug 2025 at Ballarat Synthetic when he captured the $32,000.00 Maiden Plate. He has consistently yielded profit for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 90% return on investment.
