About

Gronar, a 5yo brown gelding from Australia, is trained by Michael Ball of Roebourne. He is by Grunt out of Gullible. To date he has recorded a single victory. His biggest triumph came on 19 Jul 2025 at Derby, where he won the $13,500 3yo+ Maiden Set Weight. The horse has been a money‑maker for bettors, delivering roughly a 50% ROI for those who backed him throughout his career.
