Gunsynd - A Personal Tribute to The Goondiwindi Grey
One of Australian horse racing's most beloved champions, Gunsynd was named after the Goondiwindi (popularly pronounced Gundawindi) Syndicate who purchased him, which is where the horse got his name.
His heart, sheer courage and will to win was astounding - the crowds adored him and he adored them too.
As a born & bred Gundy-ite, his deeds still affect me to this day, so I thought I might put together a little personal memento of some of his finest Group 1 wins, together with some pictures of the famous Grey fellow, so that people both new & old can reflect on just how great he was, and just what he meant (and still means) to the people of Goondiwindi and indeed, to all Australian racegoers.
Hope you all enjoy a little trip back down memory lane & cheers to everyone back in Gundy .....
Gunsynd the Goondiwindi Grey and the Victoria Hotel - Discover Downunder - Episode 5, Part 3
Brooke and Tim are immersing themselves in the Australian outback. Brooke reveals that she's having an amazing time and hopes that the second Dometic Follow the Sun team will do to. They'll be experiencing a road trip around New South Wales from top to bottom. They'll hit the road on the Queensland / New South Wales boarder before heading down to Byron Bay, Coffs Harbour, Nambucca Heads and South West Rocks before arriving in Sydney. Then it's on to Jervis Bay and Tathra before heading inland to Jindabyne, Tumut, Young, Forbes and Tamworth, over the boarder to Stanthorpe before finishing in Broadbeach. And they'll be plenty of parks to visit along the way!
Back in Goondiwindi, Tim introduces the story of Gunsynd - the Goondiwindi Grey racehorse that put the town on the map. He hands over to Brooke who's found out everything about Gunsynd, one of the most popular race horses to ever compete in Australia. Her tour guide is Phil Percival from the Gunsynd Museum, who explains the records that Gunsynd won. He wasn't just a record breaking race horse however; he was somewhat of a ladies man and a genuine crowd pleaser who lived for attention and the love of his public. As Brooke says, he was the heart and soul of Goondiwindi.
Brooke reunites with Tim to discuss the legend of Gunsynd over - what else - a parma at the Victoria Hotel. It's made with a fresh chicken breast, which the team crumb themselves, but that's all the chef will give away. The chips aren't on the side, but they're very crunchy and the sauce is full of garlic and flavour. High praise from Tim, who says it's one of the nicest parmas he's ever had.

GUNSYND WINS 1972 DONCASTER
Ken Howard's call of the 1972 Doncaster Handicap (race prizemoney of $50,000).
The race was run on Easter Saturday 1 April 1972. Gunsynd trained by TJ (Tommy) Smith and ridden by Roy Higgins won the race beating Triton (NZ) trained by Syd Brown. Triton went on to reverse the result in the 1972 Epsom Handicap staged on 30 September 1972. The Doncaster and Epsom Handicaps are Sydney's premier 1 mile (now 1600 metres) races and are run at Randwick racecourse - not far from the CBD and Harbour of Sydney. TJ Smith was never afraid to back his horses up quickly, and after winning the Doncaster on Saturday Gunsynd ran in the 2 mile Sydney Cup on Monday. The race was run in quagmire conditions and Gunsynd ran fifth, Max Presnell recalls Gunsynd's 1972 Doncaster win
