About
Vino Novello, a 4yo chestnut gelding from Australia trained by John Blacker, is by the stallion Vino Rosso out of the dam Royal Miswaki. He has secured five wins so far. On 13th Mar 2026 at Launceston he captured his most important triumph, winning the $50000.00 Tasmanian St Leger. He has consistently delivered value to bettors, and a full‑career backing would have yielded a 107% return on investment.
