About
Grand Freude is a 2‑year‑old bay colt from Japan trained by Hiroaki Kawazu. He is by Benbatl out of Franny Freud and has recorded four wins to date. On 6 Feb 2026 at Kawasaki he captured his biggest victory, taking the $4,750,000 prize in Race 5 (cond). The horse has been a lucrative runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 485 % return on investment.
