5 SHADES OF GREY RACEHORSES – GREYLANDER

Greylander – Dare to dream 

At this very early stage of his potentially exciting career, the only thing that Greylander has in common with champion racehorses like Surround, Gunsynd, Chautauqua and Melbourne Cup winner Subzero is his colour. But in the racing game, that can all change very quickly.

Well-bred

A son of champion sire Fastnet Rock, he was the first horse ever to be purchased by TRL at the Magic Millions sale for $215,000 in 2021. Rogues’ owners voted for him to be trained by 9-time champion Queensland trainer Tony Gollan who has always had a big opinion of this bloke.

Debut Race – Greylander

Greylander was kept a colt for his first start in a hot race at the Sunshine Coast in which Tony’s other horse the outstanding Nettuno won in impressive fashion and has since contested Group 1 and Group 2 events in the southern states. Greylander was immediately spelled.

A Quick learner

Tony’s opinion of Greylander hasn’t diminished. He is no longer a colt undergoing the most severe of gear changes, and his attitude is much improved, he still has much to learn, but he is a quick learner.

While Greylander showed plenty to the stable as a 2yo, Tony has always thought he would be much better as a 3yo and will continue to improve as he matures.

An exciting racehorse – recent trial

His most recent jump out franked a lot of those opinions, and now he is set to return to the track with the ultimate aim, the $11.5 million Magic Millions day on the Gold Coast on January 14 2023. 

Dare to dream

Greylander has potential, and one day, we may all be talking about this beautiful grey horse in the same fashion as Surround, Gunsynd, Chautauqua and Subzero, but then again, we may not, and that is the beauty of horse racing and racehorse ownership, we just don’t know, but we dare to dream.
