About
Strictly Business is a 3yo brown filly from Australia, trained by Thomas Carberry. She is by Grunt out of Tivoli Lass. With a Group One victory and career earnings of $920,150, she is regarded as an elite racehorse. On 6 Nov 2025 at Flemington, jockey John Allen rode her to a win in the $1,000,000 Crown Oaks, defeating The Pearls. She has proven a profitable prospect for punters; backing her throughout her career would have delivered a 113% return on investment.
