About
Midnight Dart is a 2yo brown/black colt trained by Lisa Latta at Awapuni (NZ). He is by the stallion Derryn out of the dam Ambitious Beauty. So far he has secured one win. On 18 Oct 2025 at Trentham he achieved his most important victory, taking the $40000.00 2yo Open Set Weight With Penalties. He has proved a profitable runner for punters; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 74% return on investment.
