About
Midnight Dart is a 3yo brown/black colt trained by Lisa Latta at Awapuni. He is by Derryn out of Ambitious Beauty and has recorded one win to date. On 18 Oct 2025 at Trentham he secured his most important triumph, earning the $40,000 2yo Open Set Weight With Penalties. The horse has delivered a profit for bettors; a patron who supported him throughout his career would have seen a 9% return on investment.
