Dark Eyes
(AUS)About
Dark Eyes is a 12yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Matthew Dale. He is sired by the stallion Snitzel out of the dam Cinnamon Dove. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $646,875, Dark Eyes is considered a racehorse with above-average ability. On March 5, 2017, at Canberra, Dark Eyes, ridden by Tim Clark, secured his most notable victory in the $200,000 Canberra Cup, defeating Cool Chap. Throughout his career, Dark Eyes has been a profitable choice for bettors. Backing Dark Eyes throughout his career would have yielded a 12% return on investment. Dark Eyes concluded his racing career, with his final race on July 1, 2020, at Kensington.
