About
Hidden Motive, a 3yo bay colt from Australia, is trained by Nathan Doyle in Newcastle. He is by Capitalist out of Secret Agenda. Having captured a Group Two victory and earning $370,400, he is considered a highly talented racehorse. On 11 Oct 2025 at Rosehill Gardens, ridden by Ashley Morgan, he secured his biggest triumph, winning the $300,000 Roman Consul Stakes over Beadman. He has consistently delivered value to bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 92% return on investment.
