About
Grunade is a 5yo bay mare from Australia, trained by Jayden Minehan in Moruya. She is by Grunt out of Chaminade and has secured two victories in her career. On 26 July 2026 at Sapphire Coast, she captured her biggest win, taking the $30,000 Country Boosted Class 1 Handicap. Punters have found her lucrative; backing her over her entire career would have yielded a 279% return on investment.
