About

Bright is a 5yo b gelding trained by D M Loughnane. He is by the stallion Starspangledbanner out of Heavenly Song. To date, Bright has claimed six victories. On 23 August 2024 at Newcastle, he secured his most valuable win, taking the $18,039.00 Tote.co.uk Canny Good Like Racing League Race 31 Handicap. The horse has proved profitable for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have generated a 52% return on investment.
