About
Blackthorn is a 4yo chestnut gelding from Australia trained by Fred Wieland. He is by The Autumn Sun out of Plum Stone and has recorded two career wins. On 13 Jan 2026 at Muswellbrook he secured his biggest triumph, taking the $30000.00 Country Boosted Maiden Plate. He has been a profitable runner for punters; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 173% return on investment.
