About

Granite Rock, a 5yo bay or brown gelding from Australia, is trained by Michael Grantham. He is by the stallion Awesome Rock out of the dam So Awkward. He has recorded three wins in his career. On 16th Aug 2025 at Broome he captured his most important victory, taking the $20000.00 Rtg 58+ Handicap. He has proved a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would yield a 53% return on investment.
