About

Grammar Lad is a 4yo bay or brown gelding from Australia, trained by Kelly Schweida at Eagle Farm. He is by the stallion Written Tycoon out of the dam Golden Penny and has recorded four wins in his career so far. On 11 Apr 2026 at Doomben, Grammar Lad earned his most notable victory, taking the $75000.00 Bm78 Hcp. He has proved a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have generated a 38% return on investment.
