About
Opportunistic is a 4yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Michael Grantham. He is by the stallion So You Think out of the mare I’m Feeling Lucky. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $217,670, he is regarded as a horse of above‑average ability. On 28th Jun 2025 at Pinjarra, jockey Clint Johnston‑Porter rode him to his most important win to date, securing the $125,000 3yo Open Set Weight and besting Storyville. He has consistently been profitable for bettors, and a lifelong backer would have realized an 11% return on investment.
