About
Grounded is a 8yo dk b/br from the United States trained by Scooter Davis. It is by the stallion Medaglia D'oro out of the dam Home Rule and has amassed 14 wins to date. On 12 Aug 2025 at Presque Isle Downs, it earned its biggest victory, taking the $100,000 Avery Whisman Memorial Stakes. The horse has been lucrative for bettors; a lifelong backer would have realized a 33% return on investment.
