About
Grand Valeur is a 3yo Japanese horse trained by Kinya Sugawara. Sired by Real Steel out of Cherie Reine, it has collected four wins so far. Its most notable victory occurred on 17 Apr 2026 at Kanazawa, where it captured Race 11 (c1) for a $839000.00 purse. The horse has proved profitable for punters; backing Grand Valeur throughout its career would have yielded a 47% return on investment.
