Bombard

Bombard needed three races to nail down his first career win, overhauling the pacesetter in deep stretch to win a 1 1/8-mile turf race by three-quarters of a length June 4, 2016.

He made his 4-year-old debut May 12, 2017 at Santa Anita Park and won by 2 ¼ lengths on the downhill turf course in an abbreviated season that saw him make only two starts.

Bombard won two straight races to kick off his 5-year-old season in 2018, including a victory in the Siren Lure Stakes June 17 at Santa Anita. He followed with a runner-up finish by a head in the Wickerr Stakes in July at Del Mar. The following year, Bombard earned his second stakes win when he won the Wickerr by a half-length after controlling the pace.

In 2020, Bombard was winless on four starts with the highlight of the year a close second by a neck Sept. 12 at Kentucky Downs in the Grade 3 Runhappy Turf Sprint Stakes. He was unplaced in the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint in his final race of the year.

Following a second in an April 2021 allowance race in his 8-year-old debut, Bombard earned a breakthrough graded stakes win when he led from start to finish to win the Grade 3, $100,000 Daytona Stakes by 1 ¼ lengths as the 7-10 favorite.
