About
So Brave is a 5yo brown gelding from Australia, trained by John Leek Jnr. He is by So You Think out of Midnight Special. He has won three races so far. On 3 Oct 2025 at Moonee Valley he secured his most important win, taking the $60,000 Bm66 Hcp. The horse has been profitable for bettors, and backing him throughout his career would have produced a 215% return on investment.
