About

Oystercatcher, a 7yo brown or black mare from Australia, is trained by Darren Bell. She is by the stallion Vienne out of the dam Shimmering Star. She has recorded one win in her career. On 24th Aug 2025 at Kilcoy she claimed her biggest victory, earning $22000.00 in a Maiden Set Weight. She has been a profitable choice for punters, and betting on her throughout her career would have produced a 17% return on investment.
