About

The Sun Dance is a 4yo bay gelding from Australia trained by James Moore on the Sunshine Coast. He is by Wandjina out of Hilldale. To date he has recorded two career wins. On 14 July 2024 at Sunshine Coast he captured his biggest victory, taking the $30,000 Maiden Set Weight. The horse has been a money‑maker for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 69% ROI.
