About
Bear River, a 5yo horse from the United States, competes in the Fair Grounds R3 Colonel Power Stakes (Stakes). Sired by Flameaway out of the dam Sixtyfivenorth, the animal has secured six career victories. Its most notable triumph came on 31 Aug 2025 at Kentucky Downs, where it won the $2,000,000 Mint Kentucky Turf Sprint Stakes (Stakes). The horse has been a solid money‑maker for bettors; backing Bear River over its career would have yielded a 66 % return on investment.
