In the fast-paced and highly competitive world of Australian horse racing, Mr Brightside has emerged as one of the top performers of recent seasons.
This tough, consistent gelding has developed into a Group 1 star and captured the imagination of racing fans with his tenacity, brilliance, and remarkable rise through the ranks.
Bred in New Zealand, Mr Brightside comes from solid bloodlines. He’s by Bullbars, a son of Elusive Quality, out of Lilahjay by Tavistock.
While not a pedigree that screamed immediate Group 1 success, it’s a reminder that heart, grit, and the right guidance can bring out the best in a racehorse.
When trainer Ben Hayes, along with his brother JD Hayes and father Tom Dabernig, brought Mr Brightside to Australia, few could have predicted just how much of an impact he would have.
Mr Brightside began his career relatively late as a four-year-old, but once he hit the track, he quickly made up for lost time. Early on, his ability to settle in races and finish strongly became his trademark.
He won multiple races in Victoria and soon started stepping up to tougher competition.
The real turning point for Mr Brightside came in 2022 when he won the Group 1 Doncaster Mile at Randwick. It was a defining moment, showcasing his ability to compete at the highest level against some of Australia’s best milers.
Piloted by jockey Craig Williams, Mr Brightside proved too strong for his rivals, powering to the line to secure his first Group 1 victory in one of the country’s most prestigious races.
This win catapulted him into the spotlight and stamped him as a genuine top-level performer.
His victory in the Doncaster was a reminder of his versatility—able to handle different track conditions and rise to the challenge when it matters most.
One of the most impressive things about Mr Brightside is his consistency. Whether it’s over 1400 meters or a mile, on a dry track or rain-affected ground, he delivers.
He regularly finds himself in the finish, displaying that all-important combination of speed and stamina.
He returned in the spring of 2022 and continued to rack up notable performances, solidifying his reputation as one of the country’s premier middle-distance horses.
A standout moment in his career came when he added another Group 1 win to his tally with a victory in the All-Star Mile in 2023.
By defeating a star-studded field, Mr Brightside reaffirmed his standing as one of Australia’s most reliable and exciting racehorses.
As the 2024 spring carnival unfolds, Mr Brightside is shaping up to be a key player in the major mile and middle-distance races.
With his tough constitution and proven ability at Group 1 level, fans can expect him to be a contender in races like the Cox Plate and possibly even a return to defend his title in the Doncaster Mile.
For the Hayes training team, Mr Brightside is the horse that has taken their stable to new heights. His rise to the top has been a product of careful planning and patience, allowing him to develop into a genuine star of Australian racing.
What makes Mr Brightside so appealing to racing fans is his fighting spirit. He’s not flashy; he’s a grinder who gets the job done.
Whether he’s coming from behind or grinding it out up front, Mr Brightside always gives 100%, and that reliability has won him a legion of followers
