Grand Slam (horse)

A two-time Grade I winner as a juvenile, Grand Slam scored all four of his career victories over the dirt at Belmont Park.^[3]

At age two, he won the Belmont Futurity Stakes in September and Champagne Stakes in October, both Grade I races. Then in the 1997 Breeders' Cup Juvenile in November at Hollywood Park, he suffered a cut in his left hind leg going into the first turn and did not finish the race. He missed four months of racing while recovering from his injury.^[4]

His first start back from injury was at Santa Anita in the San Pedro Stakes, where he finished sixth. A month later, he finished third in the Lexington Stakes at Keeneland, and in May, he won the Peter Pan Stakes.

The colt failed to win another race in his career, although after a 7th-place finish in the Belmont Stakes^[5] he was third in the Haskell Invitational as well as second in the Swaps Stakes, Jerome Handicap, and 1998 Breeders' Cup Sprint at Churchill Downs.^[6]

Grand Slam was retired to stud in after his 3-year-old campaign to Coolmore's Ashford Stud. His 2008 fee was $35,000. His progeny include Limehouse and 2003 Breeders' Cup Sprint winner Cajun Beat.
