About
Gun Barrel City is a 5yo bay horse from the United States trained by Todd A. Pletcher. He is by the stallion Frankel out of the mare Mrs Mcdougal. To date, the colt has recorded two wins, the most notable being on 19 May 2025 at Belmont's Big A, where he captured the $85,000 Md race. The runner has been a rewarding choice for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 108% return on investment.
