Golden Dore (AUS) Horse
About
Golden Dore, a 5yo bay or brown gelding from Australia, is trained by Dave Hopperton of North Boyanup. He is by Denman out of Merrily Merrily. He has accumulated four wins in his career. His most notable triumph occurred on 12 Nov 2025 at Belmont, where he secured the $35,000 prize in the 3yo+ Rst 0 Met Win-ly Handicap. Punters have found him profitable; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 64% return on investment.
