About

Midwest is a 7yo chestnut gelding (male) from Australia, trained by A & S Freedman in Mornington. He is by Zoustar out of Umgeton. So far he has collected nine wins. On 18 Apr 2025 at Echuca he secured his biggest triumph, capturing the $500,000 Open Handicap. The horse has proved a reliable money‑maker for bettors; backing him through his career would have generated a 12% return on investment.
