Grand Glory (foaled 19 April 2016) is a British-bred, French-trained Thoroughbred racehorse. In her early career she was lightly-campaigned but showed good racing ability, winning her only race as a juvenile and finishing third in the Prix de Diane in 2019. As a four-year-old in 2020 she won the Listed Prix Zarkava and the Group 3 Prix de Flore. Grand Glory was even better as a five-year-old in 2021 when she took the Grand Prix de Vichy and the Prix Jean Romanet as well as running second in the Prix de l'Opera and fifth in the Japan Cup. In 2022 she won a second Prix Zarkava before taking the Prix Allez France and finishing third in the Prince of Wales's Stakes. Grand Glory is a bay mare with a white blaze and white socks on her hind legs bred by the Normandy-based Haras De Bourgeauville. In October the yearling was consigned to the Arqana sale and was bought for €18,000 by Marco Bozzi Bloodstock. She entered the ownership of Bartolo Faraci and was sent into training with Gianluca Bietolini at Maisons Laffitte. She was from the first crop of foals sired by Olympic Glory, whose wins included the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère, Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, Lockinge Stakes and Prix de la Forêt. Grand Glory's dam Madonna Lily showed no racing ability, failing to win in five starts.
