About
Castle On High is a 6yo bay gelding trained by Cliff Brown of Mornington. He is by the stallion Eminent out of the dam Heart of Th'Castle. To date he has secured four career wins. On 23 Jul 2025 at Sandown Hillside, he claimed his biggest victory, taking the $50,000 Bm70 Hcp. Punters have found him to be a profitable runner; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 47% return on investment.
