About
Mississippi Dawn is a 4yo bay mare from Australia under the training of Michael Grantham. She is by Pierro out of Mississippi Delta. She has secured four wins in her career so far. On 9th May 2026 at Ascot she earned her most important victory, taking the $60,000 Graduation Handicap over 1 mile. She has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing her throughout her career would have produced a 251% return on investment.
