GRNSW are asking YOU to vote for the 2024 Run of the Year - here are the nominations...
Blue Kermaro - Ladbrokes Million Dollar Chase
Blue Kermaro's win in the 2024 Ladbrokes Million Dollar Chase was the stuff of dreams - pulling off the biggest upset in Million Dollar Chase history he raced away with the feature after a last-minute decision by trainer Josh Formosa to place the dog in the series!
Many thought Shakey Jakey's Wentworth Park track record would never be broken. Enter: Dalwhinnie! At just his third start, he clocked a sizzling 29.04 to take his maiden victory - and his place in the record books!
After bombing the start and being almost last out of the boxes, the Victorian champ rallied to be in the lead just after the first turn and rocket home in emphatic style in 29.19!
We guess we're all used to Palawa King being slow out of the boxes, but by the time they passed the judge the first time he'd worked his way into fourth place and he powered to the lead before the home turn to sprint clear to win the Group 1 feature in typical 'king' style!
Valpolicella - Ladbrokes 715 & The Gardens Track Record
NSW owned - Queensland trained Valpolicella led from start to finish in the Ladbrokes 715, but she wasn't happy to simply win the feature: she obliterated the 715m track record, stopping the clock at a hot 41.23!
