Bio
Robert Bruce shipped to the U.S. in 2018 after winning his first six races in his native Chile, and continued that dominating streak in his very first appearance, taking the Grade 3 Fort Marcy Stakes at Belmont Park with a late rally.
The 4-year-old colt won his first career start in Chile in May 2017 and then won five consecutive group stakes. He was transferred to trainer Chad Brown for his U.S. debut.

The 4-year-old colt won his first career start in Chile in May 2017 and then won five consecutive group stakes. He was transferred to trainer Chad Brown for his U.S. debut.
After winning the Fort Marcy, Robert Bruce tasted defeat for the first time in the Grade 1 Manhattan Stakes when he was beaten by a length while sixth in a blanket finish. He rebounded sharly in his next start, closing powerfully in the stretch to win the Grade 1 Arlington Million on Aug. 11 for his first Grade 1 win in the U.S. Robert Bruce subsequently finished second in the Grade 1 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Stakes on Sept. 29 at Belmont Park.
Robert Bruce ran a distant seventh in the Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf at Churchill Downs, and returned in 2019 to finish a disappointing fifth in the Grade 3 Fort Marcy Stakes at Belmont in May. He rebounded somewhat off of that effort to finish second to stablemate Bricks and Mortar in the June 8 Manhattan Stakes at Belmont.
Robert Bruce is a son of Fast Company, and his dam was also a Group 1 winner in Chile.
