As Catch Can (USA) Horse
About
In the Santa Anita R7 Robert J. Frankel Stakes, As Catch Can is a 3yo dk b/r from the United States trained by Jonathan Thomas. The colt is by Mo Town out of Just A Catch and has recorded three victories to date. On 7 Sep 2025 at Colonial Downs, the horse captured its biggest triumph, winning the $250,000 Old Dominion Oaks (stakes). It has been a lucrative contender for bettors; a lifelong backer would have earned a 38% return on investment.
