About
Black Ora, a 4yo brown or black mare from Australia, is trained by Adam Durrant in Karnup. She is by the stallion Playing God out of Ortessa. To date, she has won six races. On 6 Dec 2025 at Ascot, she captured her biggest victory, the $80,000 Rtg 72+ Handicap. Punters have found her profitable; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 20% return on investment.
