About
Lillian, a 4yo bay mare, is trained by Michael Grantham in North Dandalup. She is by the stallion War Decree out of the mare I’ve Got Rhythm. To date she has secured four victories. Her most notable win arrived on 7 Feb 2026 at Ascot, when she claimed the $60,000 Graduation Handicap (1 mw). Punters have found her a profitable prospect; backing her throughout her career would have generated a 63% return on investment.
