About

Merriest is an 11yo brown mare from Australia trained by Danny O'Brien. She is by the stallion Denman out of the dam Merrier. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $420,850, Merriest is considered a racehorse of above-average ability. On 3rd Sep 2016 at Moonee Valley, Merriest, ridden by Damien Oliver, achieved her most notable victory in the $120000 Atlantic Jewel Stakes, defeating Whispering Brook. She has been a profitable horse for bettors. Backing Merriest throughout her career would have yielded a 147% return on investment. Merriest has retired from racing, with her final race on 15th Sep 2018 at Flemington.
