About
Blacksmith is a 2yo bay or brown gelding from Australia trained by Marcus Wilson on the Gold Coast. He is by the stallion Spirit of Boom out of the dam Iriomote. He has recorded one win so far. On 17 Jun 2026 at Doomben, Blacksmith earned his most important victory, taking the $40,000 2yo C&G Maiden Plate. He has been a profitable choice for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have generated an 800% return on investment.
