About

Castle On High is a 5yo bay gelding trained by Cliff Brown of Mornington. He is by the stallion Eminent out of the mare Heart Of Th'castle. So far he has recorded four wins. On 23 Jul 2025 at Sandown Hillside he secured his most important triumph, winning the $50,000 Benchmark 70 Handicap. He has proven to be a profitable runner for punters; a career‑long backing would have delivered a 99% return on investment.
