About
The Confidante is a 4yo bay or brown gelding from Australia trained by Todd Smith. He is by the stallion So You Think out of the mare Crystal Flute. To date he has recorded two wins. On 2 August 2026 at Forbes he captured his biggest victory, winning the $30,000 Showcase Class 1 Handicap. He has been a money‑making horse for bettors, and wagering on him across his career would have generated a 56% return on investment.
