About

Counterspy, a 6yo dark bay/brown gelding bred in the United States and trained by Robert Mosco, competed in the Aqueduct R8 Race 8 – Stymie Stakes. He is by Gun Runner out of Simplify and has recorded eight career victories. His most notable triumph came on August 22, 2022 at Ellis Park, where he captured the $60,000 Race 6. The horse has been a solid money‑maker for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 6% return on investment.
