About
Blissful Bay is a 5yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Darryl Dodson at Telopea Downs. He is by Hualalai out of Hungry Kiss and has recorded one win to date. On 2 Mar 2025 at Penola he captured his biggest victory, taking the $19,500 3yo+ Maiden Set Weight. The horse has been profitable for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 193% return on investment.
