Who am i?

Originally trained by Bill Wehlow, and later by Tommy Smith, i raced from 1969 to 1973. As a four-year-old, under handicap conditions, i won four major mile races (approximately 1,600 metres) - the Epsom Handicap, the Toorak Handicap, the George Adams Handicap, and the Doncaster Handicap, and, at five, was narrowly beaten by Triton in the 1972 Epsom Handicap. In the Doncaster Handicap, I carried 9 stone 7 pounds (60.5 kilograms) to victory, and, in my second Epsom Handicap, was second with 62.5 kilograms. I then won the 1972 Cox Plate, was third, with 60.5 kilograms, to Piping Lane in the Melbourne Cup, and was named Australia's champion racehorse for the 1972-1973 season. I was a favourite with the crowds due to my grey coat and my tremendous will to win, and was one of the best grey horses in the history of Australian racing.
