A trip to the Warrnambool May Racing Carnival again proved successful with the five-year-old gelding Gronkowski delivering a commanding performance to win the Book Jericho Thru Langley's Accommodation Benchmark 70 Handicap.
A confident ride by jockey Blake Shinn, Gronkowski clinched victory over 1200 meters on a Soft 7 track, securing an easy 2.25 length win over runner-up Mr Charismatic.
He did a great job. He jumped well, had a nice easy trail and he won the race pretty easily. It was a good effort.” said Shinn. “He won untouched, he’s a nice metropolitan horse and he deserved that win today.”
This triumph marked Gronkowski's fifth career win and took his prizemoney to over $188,000 for breeders and owners, Rosemont Stud.
The team at home was thrilled to see “Gronk” win at The Bool and congratulations to great supporters in Rosemont Stud.
