About

Dark Lager, an 8yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Jeff Searle, is by the stallion Dark Cove out of Lagerette. He has secured three career victories. On 8 Mar 2025 at Edenhope, he captured his biggest win, taking the $27,000 3yo+ Restricted 58 Handicap. Punters have found him profitable; backing him throughout his career would yield a 40% ROI.
