About
Must Be Sain is a 3yo bay gelding (male) from Australia trained by Shane Nichols and Hayden Black. He is by the stallion Zousain out of the dam Must Be Mink. To date he has recorded one win. On 27th Jul 2025 at Ballarat Synthetic he secured his biggest triumph, earning the $50000.00 2-y-o Maiden Plate. He has proved a lucrative choice for punters; backing him across his career would have delivered a 71% return on investment.
