De Little Engine
(AUS)About
De Little Engine is a 14yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Danny O'Brien. He is sired by the stallion Encosta de Lago out of the dam Arapaho Miss. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $713,540, De Little Engine is considered a racehorse with above-average ability. On May 20, 2017, at Flemington, De Little Engine, ridden by Daniel Moor, secured his most notable victory in the $200,000 Andrew Ramsden Stakes, defeating Mujadale. He has been a profitable horse for bettors throughout his career. Backing De Little Engine throughout his career would have yielded a 9% return on investment. De Little Engine has retired from racing, with his final race on December 9, 2017, at Racing.com Park.
