About
Brave Design is a 3yo bay or brown colt from Australia trained by Danny O'Brien at Flemington. He is by Brave Smash out of Our Design. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $251,500, he is considered a racehorse of above‑average ability. On 14 June 2025 at Eagle Farm, ridden by Jordan Childs, Brave Design captured his biggest victory to date in the $160,000 2yo Open Set Weight, beating Isti Star. He has been a profitable choice for bettors; backing him over his career would have yielded a 17% return on investment.
