About
Butterfly Style is a 4yo bay mare from Australia trained by Mitchell Beer & George Carpenter, Kembla Grange. She is by the stallion Merchant Navy out of Blithe Belle. So far she has secured three wins. On 8 June 2025 at Sapphire Coast she claimed her most important triumph, the $50,000 Maiden Handicap. She has been a money‑maker for punters; backing her throughout her career would have produced a 29% return on investment.
