About
Shining Smile, a 3yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by Ben, Will & Jd Hayes at Pakenham 3. He is by Spirit of Boom out of Nataya Rose. A stakes winner with $523,725 in earnings, he is regarded as a racehorse of above‑average ability. On 25 Jan 2025 at Sandown Lakeside, ridden by Daniel Stackhouse, he secured his biggest victory in the $250,000 2yo C&G Open Set Weight With Penalties, beating Yamashita's Gold. He has consistently provided value to bettors; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 28% return on investment.
