Does anybody know who has won the most Grand Circuit races ever?
Perhaps Ash (Maorisidol) could get the stats books out and let us know. I hear he has some spare time on his hands now as he has been forced to give up his hobby of Quinny-bashing.

ITMQ has won most GC races = 11. 7 in Perth against FFA opposition and locals who dont even go East...and was given an ID in NZ when he didnt actually win the race...:)
Now Brycey, u still havent replied to my ID post after you particularly invited me and singled me out to "put my head up" in your ID WAKE thread...
Quinny the Great, a phenomena in the modern era of harness racing - no doubt going to be the Grand Circuit champion again this year.
Can't believe this thread has only had 2,206 views, should be 20,000. Obviously a lot out there still can't stomach the thought of ITMQ being the greatest.
Ash, I notice you're still on about W.A. horses who don't even go east as you say. Can you blame them, when archaic flight arrangements means a half way trip around the world to either get there or
return home. A farcical situation when the only option open to ITMQ, I'V and MMM was a twelve hour trip to Melbourne and then wait for a flight to Perth, or, three hours to NZ and then home.
No wonder Tony Svilicich is not keen to race his horses over east and decided on a three day road trip across the Nullabor to Perth. With all the stake money in Perth it isn't necessary to venture away
but if you want our horses over there, improve your travelling arrangements. Just a little reminder how tough our horses are over here; MMM gets off float on Wednesday, back at GP Friday winning over
2536 metres in 1:56:7 - an amazing horse.
Hello Ashley( I presume),
Back in those days Pure Steel, Village Kid, Preux Chevalier did spend extended
periods in the east because flights from Perth to Melbourne and particularly Sydney were so few they were almost non existent. The big money back then, was in the east, but not so much these days. Pretty good explanation me thinks.
