Higher Ground
(AUS)About
Higher Ground is a 10yo bay stallion from Australia trained by Chris Waller. He is by So You Think out of Dark Vision. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $226,405, Higher Ground is considered a racehorse of above-average ability. On April 21, 2018, at Royal Randwick, Higher Ground, ridden by Glyn Schofield, secured his most notable victory in the $150000 Packer Plate, defeating Tangled. He has been a profitable horse for bettors throughout his career. Backing Higher Ground throughout his career would have yielded an 88% return on investment. Higher Ground has retired from racing, with his final race on May 12, 2018, at Doomben.
