About
Lillian, a 4yo bay mare, is trained by Michael Grantham. She is by War Decree out of I've Got Rhythm. To date she has won four races, including her biggest triumph on 7 Feb 2026 at Ascot, where she secured the $60000.00 Graduation Handicap (1mw). She has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 63% return on investment.
