About
Midnight Drifter is a 7yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Gillian Heinrich & Ben Rodgers on the Gold Coast. His sire is All Too Hard and his dam is Kala's Belle. He has secured four career victories, with his most notable win coming on 25 Jul 2025 at Sunshine Coast in the $28,000 0‑60 Handicap. The horse has been a profitable prospect for bettors; anyone who backed him throughout his career would have realised a 152% return on investment.
