About

Dark Glitter, a 5yo bay mare from Australia, is trained by Mike Van Gestel of Hawkesbury. She is out of the dam Berning Affair and by the stallion Spieth. To date she has recorded five career victories. Her most notable triumph came on 8 Feb 2025 at Randwick, where she captured the $160,000 Benchmark 78 Handicap. Throughout her campaign she has been a rewarding prospect for bettors; backing her from the start would have yielded a 24 % return on investment.
