About
Dark Glitter, a 6yo bay mare from Australia, is trained by Mike Van Gestel. She is by Spieth out of Berning Affair and has won six races so far. On 4 July 2026 at Rosehill Gardens she secured her most important win, the $160,000 Bm 88 Hcp. Punters have found her profitable; backing her throughout her career would have produced a 14% return on investment.
