About
Desert Dancing is a 5yo grey-bay mare from Australia trained by Rob Gulberti in Pinjarra. She is by the stallion Rommel out of Grey Dancer. She has secured four wins in her career so far. On 10 Feb 2024 at Morphettville she claimed her most important victory, the $50,000 Benchmark 64 Handicap. She has proven a profitable runner for punters; anyone who backed her throughout her career would have earned a 44% return on investment.
