The Black Cloud (AUS) Horse
About
The Black Cloud is a 5yo bay mare (female) from Australia trained by Joseph Pride, who is based at Warwick Farm. She is sired by the stallion Shamus Award out of the dam Containment. Given that she is a stakes winner and has amassed $537,150 in career earnings, The Black Cloud is regarded as a racehorse with above-average ability. On 13th Dec 2025 at Eagle Farm, The Black Cloud was ridden by Daniel Moor and scored her most significant win to date, getting the money in the $160000.00 Bribie Qlty Hcp, defeating Way To The Stars. She has proven a profitable horse for the punters over the journey. If you had backed The Black Cloud throughout her career you'd have achieved a 9% return on investment.
