About
Strictly Business, a 3yo brown filly from Australia, is trained by Thomas Carberry. She is by Grunt out of Tivoli Lass. Having captured a Group One race and earning $736,150, she is considered an elite racehorse. On 6 Nov 2025 at Flemington, John Allen rode her to a victory in the $1,000,000 Crown Oaks, beating The Pearls. Punters have found her to be a lucrative prospect; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 325% ROI.
