About
Dear My Friend is a 3yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Gary Portelli at Warwick Farm. He is by the stallion So You Think out of Pia Sofia. He has recorded a single win in his career. On 30 Oct 2025 at Wyong, he secured his biggest victory, claiming the $45,000 Midway Maiden Handicap. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout would have yielded a 75% return on investment.
