About
Pistol is a 7yo chestnut from the United States trained by Thomas L. Van Berg. He is by Gun Runner out of Wild Bout Tiffany. To date, Pistol has captured five victories. On 28 Nov 2025 at Churchill Downs, he earned the $141000.00 purse in Race 9, his most significant win so far. The horse has been a reliable money‑maker for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 14% return on investment.
