El Rio

El Rio is a 7-year-old gelding from Ireland, trained by K C Bailey, who is based in Cheltenham. He is the offspring of the stallion Elusive Pimpernel and the mare Princess Jaffa. Throughout his career, El Rio has achieved victory in four races. On April 2, 2023, at Ascot, he was ridden by David Bass and secured his most notable win to date, earning $5,446 in the Ascot United Warriors Maiden Hurdle by defeating Mylesfromwicklow. He has been a lucrative investment for bettors over time; backing El Rio throughout his career would have yielded a 64 percent return on investment.
