Grand Slam
1995 Gone West-Bright Candles by El Gran Senor
Standing at Ashford Stud
2005 Stud Fee: $85,000
Grand Slam was a brilliantly fast and an uncommonly tough
racehorse. He won two of New York’s most prestigious
juvenile fixtures, the Futurity and Champagne, and entered
the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile as the second choice to
eventual Horse of the Year Favorite Trick. In that race,
the son of Gone West suffered a severe leg cut going into
the first turn. It was the kind of injury that would have
ended the career of most horses. But not Grand Slam. He
was back running by the spring of 1998, and he won the G2
Peter Pan at Belmont. Grand Slam ended his career with a
courageous second in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint. As
a sire, Grand Slam has passed his speed and grit on to his
runners. He has already sired a Breeders’ Cup winner
in Cajun Beat as well as several other tough and versatile
graded winners like Fire Slam, Limehouse, Grand Hombre and
Strong Hope.
