About

Don’t Despair is a 8-year-old brown gelding from Australia, trained by Jay Morris, who operates out of Mount Isa. He is the offspring of the stallion Dissident and the mare Miss Tenacious. Throughout his career, Don’t Despair has won 6 races. His most notable victory came on October 22, 2021, at Sunshine Coast, where he was ridden by Boris Thornton and won the $22,000 Benchmark 65 Handicap, beating Outback Gladiator. He has proven to be a lucrative horse for bettors, yielding a 40 percent return on investment for those who have backed him throughout his career.
