About
Bright Stripes is a 5yo chestnut gelding trained by Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson. He is out of Dutch Rose and by the stallion Starspangledbanner. A stakes winner with career earnings of $298,874, he is regarded as an above‑average racehorse. On 6 May 2024 at the Curragh, ridden by William Lee, he secured his biggest victory, the $50,000 CL1, defeating Norwalk Havoc. He has proven a lucrative runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 22% return on investment.
