Hello to all at GRG,

Well, we have our final 2 races of GRG Autumn 2024 and plenty of money is up for grabs. Our ‘Pride of Jenni’ leader Bobby Dazzler looks to have a mortgage on the title, but can someone do the unthinkable and take top spot. Money is up for grabs for the top 6 placings so good luck.

Plenty of pride up for grabs as well so the last 2 races are critical.

We have 2 races, the All-Aged Stakes and the Champagne Stakes.

History of All Aged Stakes

First run in 1865, this is a race where very good horses win. Some of the stars who have won include Carbine, Peter Pan, Ajax x 3, Bernborough, Tulloch, Lord, Rough Habit, Sunline and I have to include the greatest bridesmaid in history Hay List.

History of the Champagne Stakes

First run in 1861, the Champagne became the 3rd leg of the 2-year-old Autumn triple crown. Six horses have completed the triple crown, Baguette, Luskin Star, Tierce, Burst, Dance Hero and Pierro. Some of the other stars to win this race include one of my favs Red Anchor, Vain, Todman and Castlevecchio.

Good luck with the final 2 races of GRG this autumn.

Some of the great winners include Flight, Wenona Girl, Light Fingers, Leilani, Surround, Research, Rising Romance, Bounding Away and of course the great mare Verry Eleegant.

Hello all at GRG,

I called it MOVING DAY and once again I was 100% correct. Bobby Dazzler, our Dual champion, went bang and strode to the top of the GRG leader with a 40-point day. 

Some incredible racing today with many highlights but I would suggest the win of Riff Rocket has to be number 1. Although the Doncaster and the win by Celestial Legend would also rank up as the best of the day.

In GRG, the two top scorers of the day were Booby Dazzler and Crackers with 40 points. The lowest was 11 points, and our non-tippers all received 11 as well.

In summary:

• 2 box trifectas and 50 box quinellas for the day.
• Derby – 22 was the top score (Snapper/Donnie and Winxy) and 45 tipped Riff Rocket to win.
• Doncaster – 14 was the top score (Crackers/Ashfinky/Finbarrs Quaddie) and 6 tipped Celestial Legend to win.
• Sires – 15 was the top score by Bobby Dazzler and Happy Valley. 9 tipped Manaal to win.
• TJ Smith – 3 points the top score by 24 players.

Most Tipped Winners Comp 

3 equal leaders being Ashfinky/Bobby Dazzler and Sherro. 5 players on 10 wins

GRG Title Race

Bobby Dazzler now leads by 10 and is striving to be a 3-time champion. In 2nd is Garo on 164. 3rd is Ashfinky on 162. Lurking in 4th is Pas on 158 with Smacka in 5th on 155. Benny Badness and Crackers made some big moves today and are on 154. In 8th is Jeromino on 152 with Jcook in 9th on 150. The big lad from Essendon Gman had a cracking day and jumped from 23rd to 10th. Only 23 points separates 2nd from 23rd.

6 races to go with 4 races next week including 1 BONUS points race.

Who will win GRG Autumn 2024? Will Bobby do it again?

Huge day of racing and it was 100% MOVING Day with the 2 time champ Bobby Dazzler making his move. Some great G1 races highlighted by Lady of Camelot winning the Golden Slipper, Riff Rocket’s fantastic win in the Guineas and the star Imperitriz winning again at Moonee Valley.

Firstly, the GOLDEN Slipper Day Race Card Competition. A fantastic competition with 10 races for the day. With only 11 Box Trifectas and 88 box quinellas over 10 races, it was not an easy day. I can announce the winner being Ashfinky (Shannon Morgan) with 66 points ($793). He defeated Magpies (Paul Wakeling) by 4 points ($305) and in 3^rd place was Spag (Matt Willmott) $122 on 58 points. In equal 4^th was Busta and Pocket Rocket on 56 with 4 players on 55. Last years winner Tanee had a very rough day to finish down the field.

Well done Ashfinky!!!

In the GRG overall competition, the two top scorers on the day were Smacka with 38 and Bobby Dazzler with 33. Well done to both lads as outstanding scoring. In a tough day, the 6 races were low scoring with only 1 Box trifecta and 16 box quinellas.

In summary off GRG Races:

• Galaxy – Garo was highest points scorer with 3. No one tipped the winner to win.
• George Ryder -Smacka was the highest points with 11. 6 tipped Veight to win.
• Ranvet – 3 players scored 11 points. 14 tipped Via Sistina to win.
• Guineas – JoelS scored the highest with 11 points. 35 tipped Riff Rocket to win
• William Reid – 23 players scored 7 points. 53 tipped Imperitriz to win.
