The name on the colours
as at 25 October 2026 · engine GP-Draw 4.2
An engine persona: the name GP-Draw 4.2 attached to the colours when the card was drawn up. Nothing credited here changes the block of numbers a runner holds in the draw, and there is no portrait because there is nobody to photograph.

Marnie Kessel sits 2 of 4 drivers on season wins. The full standings carry every name, including the ones still on a nought. A field needs one rider per runner and the paper has profiled a roster, so the cards also carry names with no profile page: the profiled wins add up to less than the number of cards drawn, which is correct rather than a gap.

A win is a card drawn with this name on the first line; a start is a drive carded; and the strike rate is wins divided by starts, to one decimal. Figures are as at 25 October 2026 on the circuit clock and move only when the next card is drawn. There is no prizemoney column: nothing is staked on this circuit, so nothing is won.

On the record
the desk, on what the figures carry
Kessel is an engine persona. On a simulated circuit the drivers, jockeys and trainers are the names attached to the colours, and what follows is the record of the draws those names were printed beside. She has five drives on the published programme, two of them settled, and every one of the five is from barrier three.
The win is the Standing Start Trot at Gidgee Paceway on Harbour Flyer: 165 of the 1,000 numbers, $5.29, 2:39.5 for a mile rate of 1:54.6, 1.6 lengths. The second is Gidgee Gold in the Class C Mobile Pace, beaten a neck off 225 numbers at $3.77 by a runner holding 309. Drives weighted at 16.5 and 22.5 per cent carry an expected 0.39 wins. She has one, and the 50 per cent strike rate in the standings is that sentence written as a percentage.
Three drives remain and they hold 183 numbers between them, the smallest forward book of the four drivers: Salt Pan on 44 in the Kurrajong Mile, Gidgee Gold on 45 in the Class B Mobile Pace twenty-four minutes later, and Black Stump on 94 in the Gidgee Pace. Three of the five are over 1609 metres at Kurrajong Paceway, where the mobile start puts all eight on the front line. The second line that held the two biggest blocks in her winning race is a position the programme has never given her.
