About

Vast Art, a 6yo brown gelding from Australia, is trained by Darren McAuliffe in Pinjarra. He is by Flying Artie out of Fast Gal. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $555,513, he is considered a racehorse of above‑average ability. On 2 Oct 2024 at Kalgoorlie, ridden by Clint Johnston‑Porter, he captured his biggest victory to date in the $150,000 3yo+ Open Handicap, beating Sentimental Hero. He has been a profitable runner for punters; a lifelong backer would have earned a 7% ROI.
