About
Black Powder is a 6yo bred in the United States and trained by Michael J. Maker. He is by Gun Runner out of Oldfashioned Style and has notched three wins in his career. His biggest victory arrived on 6 Jan 2025 at Oaklawn Park, where he captured Race 5 and earned $130999.00. The horse has proved profitable for bettors; a lifelong backer would have realized a 185% return on investment.
