Galloping Grylls

NZ jockey Gary Grylls won the AU$90,000 Geelong Classic astride Penitentiary, despite lagging nearly 20 lengths behind leader North Face rounding the home turn. Grylls on his steed: “He was travelling well and I could see they were starting to fan out and he just took the runs one by one and eventually we got the money. I’ve got a bit of time for this bloke.”
