Gunsynd
Gunsynd was an Australian champion racehorse, known as "The Goondiwindi Grey". He was foaled in 1967 and rose to prominence in the late 1960s and early 1970s, capturing the hearts of the Australian public with his consistent performances and striking grey coat.
Gunsynd's racing career spanned from 1970 to 1973. During this period, he achieved victories in several major races, including the 1972 Cox Plate, the 1972 Caulfield Cup, and the 1971 Epsom Handicap. His popularity stemmed not only from his wins but also from his courageous running style and the fact that he was part-owned by a large syndicate, allowing many ordinary Australians to share in his success.
Following his retirement from racing, Gunsynd became a successful sire. He is remembered as one of the most beloved and iconic racehorses in Australian racing history. His legacy continues to be celebrated through various tributes and memorabilia.
