About

Burn to Shine is a 5yo brown gelding trained by Stephen Marsh in Cambridge. He is by So You Think out of Smoulder. As a stakes winner with $131,955 in career earnings, he is seen as a horse of above‑average ability. On 28 Oct 2023 at Riccarton Park, Johnathan Parkes rode him to his biggest win, capturing the $100,000 Open Set Weight and beating Trobriand. He has been a profitable runner for bettors, and backing him throughout his career would have produced a 61% return on investment.
