Grounded (USA) Horse
About
Grounded is a 7yo dk b/br from the United States under the care of trainer Scooter Davis. The colt is by Medaglia D'oro out of Home Rule and has accumulated 12 victories in his racing record. On August 12, 2025, at Presque Isle Downs, Grounded captured his most valuable triumph, winning the $100,000 Avery Whisman Memorial Stakes. He has consistently delivered value to bettors, and a lifelong supporter would have enjoyed a 39% return on investment.
