Dark Journey (AUS) Horse
About
Dark Journey is a 5yo grey gelding from Australia, trained by Jason Warren of Bass. His sire is Needs Further and his dam is Rose of Woorim. To date he has recorded six victories. On 26 September 2025 at Benalla he captured his biggest prize, the $100 000 3yo+ Benchmark 70 Handicap. The horse has consistently been a money‑maker for bettors, delivering roughly a 6% return on investment for anyone who backed him throughout his career.
