Melanite (AUS) Horse
About
Melanite, a 3yo brown gelding from Australia, is trained by John Thompson at Randwick. His sire is the stallion Dirty Work and his dam is Caesarissa. To date, Melanite has secured one victory. On 17 Jan 2026 at Gold Coast, he captured his most notable win, taking the $250,000 Mm Maiden Plate (3yo&up – Sw). He has been a profitable runner for bettors, delivering a 10% return on investment for anyone who backed him throughout his career.
