About
Strictly Business is a 4yo brown mare from Australia, trained by Thomas Carberry in Ballarat. She is by Grunt out of Tivoli Lass. Having secured a Group One victory and $920,150 in earnings, she is considered an elite racehorse. On 6 Nov 2025 at Flemington, ridden by John Allen, she captured the $1,000,000 Crown Oaks, beating The Pearls. Throughout her career she has been a profitable selection for bettors; backing her from the start would have yielded an 89% return on investment.
