About

Mr Brightside, a 9yo bay or brown gelding trained by Ben, Will & Jd Hayes, is sired by Bullbars out of Lilahjay. With a Group One victory and career earnings of $18,898,547, he is considered an elite racehorse. On 1 Apr 2023 at Randwick, jockey Zac Purton guided him to his biggest win, the $4,000,000 Doncaster Mile, beating My Oberon. Punters have found him lucrative; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 61% ROI.
