About

Midnight Blue is an 8yo bay/brown gelding from Australia trained by M & S Walker & Bergerson, Matamata. He is by the stallion So You Think out of the dam Midnight Special. With a Group Two win and career earnings of $974,391, Midnight Blue is considered an exceptionally talented racehorse. On 1st Jan 2022 at Ascot, Midnight Blue, ridden by Patrick Carbery, secured his most notable victory in the $400,000 Perth Cup, defeating Paddy's Shadow. He has been a lucrative horse for bettors. Backing Midnight Blue throughout his career would have yielded a 16% return on investment.
