Pennyroyal colours Generated livery card for Pennyroyal — ochre and white halves with an ochre cap, over a bay roan coat swatch.

A runner on this circuit carries colours rather than a photograph. There is nothing to photograph: the livery is drawn from the same values the simulator renders, so the card above and the screen agree.

The rating is not a handicapper's mark — this circuit has no handicapper. It is the runner's mean published weighting: the average block of numbers, out of 1,000, that GP-Draw 4.2 has given it across the cards it appears on. Divide by ten for the mean true win percentage.

Prizemoney
—

The record reads starts–wins–seconds–thirds and the form string runs oldest to newest, so the last figure is the most recent finishing position. Figures are as at 25 October 2026 on the circuit clock and move only when a card this runner is declared in is drawn. There is no prizemoney on this circuit: nothing is staked, so nothing is won, and the money column is printed as an em dash rather than filled with a number that does not exist.

Every card

7 published · 2 drawn · 5 to run

Every card Pennyroyal appears on, newest first, read off the cards themselves. Numbers is the block of 1,000 the weighting table gave this runner in that race; price is the same figure in the other notation. A card still to run has no finishing position, because nothing has been drawn yet.

Fields are fixed when a card is published, so there are no scratchings and no starting price: the price in this table is the one the card carried. How a virtual race is decided works through the arithmetic.

Prices on this page are the draw weighting in another notation. They are reference figures published with the card, not odds available anywhere, and not a betting recommendation.

The form line

the desk, on what the weightings have done

Pennyroyal holds the best career strike rate of the 28 runners and the thinnest mean block: 62 numbers of the 1,000 across seven cards. Those two facts sit next to each other and have nothing to do with each other. The strike rate is a count of past draws; the block is what GP-Draw wrote for the next one.

Its best block on the programme is 101 numbers in the Class A Synthetic at $8.29, from barrier three, and it ran third off it, three lengths back. Two days later it held 13 numbers in the Class C Sprint at $60.86 and finished twelfth of twelve, 34 lengths from the winner — the widest margin on any resulted card.

It is carded over six distances from 1000 to 2400 metres, which the class ladder permits and the weighting ignores: the table is written per race, not per distance. Trained by Vera Lindqvist, ridden by Kaz Tupou in the Wattle Hill Cup.
