Grey Lion
(IRE)About
Grey Lion is a 13yo grey gelding (male) from Ireland trained by Matthew Smith, who is based at Warwick Farm. He is sired by the stallion Galileo out of the dam Grey Lilas. Given that he is a stakes winner and has amassed $843,932 in career earnings, Grey Lion is regarded as a racehorse with above-average ability. On 20th Apr 2019 at Royal Randwick, Grey Lion was ridden by Kathy O'Hara and scored his most significant win to date, getting the money in the $160000 Jra Plate, defeating Emperor's Way. He has proven a profitable horse for the punters over the journey. If you had backed Grey Lion throughout his career you'd have achieved a 33% return on investment. Grey Lion has concluded his racing career, last running on the 22nd May 2021 at Rosehill Gardens.
