About
Mr Brightside is a 9yo bay/brown gelding trained by Ben, Will and Jd Hayes. His sire is the stallion Bullbars and his dam is Lilahjay. Having won at Group One level and accumulated $19,058,547 in earnings, he is considered an elite racehorse. On 1 April 2023 at Randwick, Zac Purton rode him to victory in the $4,000,000 Doncaster Mile, beating My Oberon. He has consistently provided value to bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 52% return on investment.
