About
Opportunistic is a 4yo bay gelding (male) from Australia trained by Michael Grantham, who is based at North Dandalup. He is sired by the stallion So You Think out of the dam I'm Feeling Lucky. Given that he is a stakes winner and has amassed $207,510 in career earnings, Opportunistic is regarded as a racehorse with above-average ability. On 28th Jun 2025 at Pinjarra, Opportunistic was ridden by Clint Johnston-porter and scored his most significant win to date, getting the money in the $125000.00 3yo Open Set Weight, defeating Storyville. He has proven a profitable horse for the punters over the journey. If you had backed Opportunistic throughout his career you'd have achieved a 39% return on investment.
