About
Struck At Midnight is a 3yo gelding from the United States trained by Joe Sharp. He is by the stallion Bolt D'Oro out of the mare Midnight On Oconee. To date he has recorded two victories. On 1st Feb 2026 at Fair Grounds he captured his biggest win, taking the $55,000 purse in Race 5. The horse has been a sound investment for bettors; a lifetime wager on him would have yielded a 19% return on investment.
