About
A Long Story Short is a 5yo bay gelding trained by Michael Kent. He is by the stallion What's the Story out of the mare Anna Maria. He has recorded a single win, which came on 19 Jul 2026 at Seymour when he took the $42500.00 Maiden Plate, his most significant victory. He has proved a profitable choice for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 10% return on investment.
