Bright The Sun (AUS)
About
Bright The Sun is a 4yo bay mare from Australia, trained by Stephen Lee. She is by the stallion Star Witness out of the dam Exceed Battle. To date she has recorded two victories. Her biggest triumph came on 12 July 2025 at the Gold Coast, where she won the $28,000 Benchmark 58 Handicap. The horse has been a money‑maker for bettors; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 3% return on investment.
