About
Perilous Fighter, a 5yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by Clayton Douglas. He is by the stallion Starspangledbanner out of Beauty School. To date, he has secured five victories, highlighted by a win in the $200,000 Vobis Gold Prelude (QC) at Flemington on 14 February 2026. The horse has been a money‑making choice for bettors, delivering a 2% return on investment for those who backed him throughout his career.
