Danger Close
(AUS)About
Danger Close is a 15yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Gary Duncan. He is sired by the stallion Written Tycoon out of the dam Galactic Honour. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $242,350, Danger Close is considered a racehorse with above-average ability. On 6th Dec 2014 at Sandown Hill, Danger Close, ridden by Craig Newitt, secured his most notable victory in the $120000 Emma Booth Christmas Cup, defeating Mr Make Believe. He has been a profitable horse for bettors throughout his career. Backing Danger Close throughout his career would have yielded a 12% return on investment. Danger Close has retired from racing, with his final race on 24th Jun 2017 at Toowoomba.
