About
Mississippi Dawn, a 4yo bay mare from Australia, is trained by Michael Grantham. She is by Pierro out of Mississippi Delta. To date she has recorded four victories. Her biggest triumph came on 9 May 2026 at Ascot, where she captured the $60,000 Graduation Handicap (1 mile). Punters have found her a money‑maker; wagering on her throughout her career would have delivered a 309% ROI.
