About
Delightful Claire, a 3yo ch bred in the United States and trained by Philip A. Bauer, is by the stallion Thousand Words out of the mare Izshelegal. The horse has recorded one win so far. Its most notable triumph occurred on 3 Aug 2025 at Saratoga, where it captured the $100,000.00 purse. Over its career the animal has been a profitable option for bettors, and a back‑to‑back stake from the beginning would have produced an 8% return on investment.
