glyceridae is a family of polychaete worms .

they are commonly referred to as beak-thrower worms or bloodworms .

they are bright red , segmented , aquatic worms .

the proboscis worm glycera is sometimes called bloodworm .

the glyceridae are ferocious epi - and infaunal polychaetes that prey upon small invertebrates .

they are errant burrowers that build galleries of interconnected tubes to aid in catching their prey .

taxonomic studies of several species of glycera and hemipodia ( = hemipodus ) from the brazilian coast have been carried out by nonato & luna ( 1970 ) , orensanz & gianuca ( 1974 ) , rullier & amoureux ( 1979 ) , nonato ( 1981 ) , and lana ( 1984 ) . in addition , amaral & nonato ( 1996 ) published keys for identification of families and genera of polychaetes from brazil and amaral et al . ( 2006a ) a catalogue of polychaete species from brazil . until now , 17 species and all three genera are mentioned for the brazilian coast , but some of them were synonymized by böggemann ( 2002 ) .
the examined material are from different programs , sampled in southern and southeastern brazil ( 22° s  34°40 ' s ) :
fauna de praia
( sandy beach fauna ) , in the intertidal zone of 13 beaches along the são sebastião channel ( state of são paulo ) ;
revizee / score sul bentos
( program of available of the sustainable potential of the living resources of the exclusive economic zone - eez ) , in depths from 60 to 808 m , between ilha grande bay ( rio de janeiro state ) and tramandaí city ( rio grande do sul state ) ; and
biota / fapesp - bentos marinho
( benthic marine biodiversity in the state of são paulo ) , in intertidal sandy beaches and rocky shores and non - consolidated sublittoral ( 50 m depth ) , in the northern são paulo state . the specific methodology to each program can be found , respectively , in amaral et al . ( 2003 ) , amaral et al . ( 2004 ) and amaral et al . ( 2006b ) .
the nomenclature used for taxonomic features is based on böggemann ( 2002 ) . semipermanent slides were mounted with a substance containing glycerin as the main component . measurements and line drawings were made using zeiss optical microscopy and stereomicroscopy . scanning electron microscope observations were made at the laboratório de microscopia eletrônica , instituto de biologia , universidade estadual de campinas ( unicamp ) , with jeol jsm - 5800 lv ® equipment , after osmium washing , alcohol battery , critical - point drying with balzers cpd 30 ® ( 37 °c temperature and 70 urltoken 2 pressure ) equipment and coating with 44 nm gold . the material examined was deposited at the museu de história natural ( mhn - unicamp ) under the abbreviations zuec - bpo ar or zuec - bpo st . others abbreviations used in the material examined : vfs ( very fine sand ) , fs ( fine sand ) , cs ( coarse sand ) .
additional material from bmnh ( the natural history museum , london , uk ) , hzm ( zoologisches institut und zoologisches museum der universität hamburg , germany ) , smf ( senckenbergmuseum , frankfurt am main , germany ) , ssm ( swedish museum of natural history , sweden ) , zmb ( museum für naturkunde der humboldt universität zu berlin , germany ) , zmuc ( zoological museum , university of copenhagen , denmark ) was examined as well .

remarks : the specimens examined by böggemann ( 2002 ) have branchiae located in more anterior chaetigers , between 7 and 22 . glycera cirrata grube 1857 [ partim ] , glycera laevis kinberg 1865 , glycera jucunda kinberg 1865 , glycera edentata hansen 1882 , and glycera incerta hansen 1882 described from specimens collected off rio de janeiro were synonymized under glycera americana by böggemann ( 2002 ) . this species has been recorded off the brazilian coast mainly in ecological studies ( amaral et al . 2006a ) , and it has been often mistaken for other congeneric species .
distribution : atlantic coasts of north and south america , pacific coasts of south america ; brazil ( alagoas , sergipe , rio de janeiro , são paulo , paraná and rio grande do sul ) . from intertidal region to 120 m depth ; in this study , g . americana was collected from 5 . 3 to 157 m .
type material : holotype zuec bpo - ar581 ( 23° 44 . 154 ' s and 45° 02 . 007 ' w , caraguatatuba , sta . 21i , 22 . iv . 2001 , 36 . 1 m ) ; paratype zuec bpo - ar496 ( 23° 53 . 026 ' s and 45° 30 . 386 ' w , são sebastião , sta . 28i , 17 . v . 2001 , 25 . 6 m ) .
remarks : glycera boeggemanni n . sp . differs from glycera robusta ehlers 1868 , its nearest species , mainly in possessing branchiae retractile , up to six branchial rami , in g . boeggemanni n . sp . , whereas in g . robusta the branchiae are non - retractile , blister - like ; in both species branchiae are located at base on the parapodia . glycera boeggemanni n . sp . is found in southwest atlantic , and g . robusta in the western and eastern pacific ocean .
distribution : brazil ( são paulo : caraguatatuba and são sebastião ) . from 25 to 36 m depth .
etymology : the species is named after markus böggemann , because of his important work and publications on polychaetes , especially glycerids .

remarks : böggemann ( 2002 ) mentioned 8 - 10 prostomial rings , proboscideal papillae of type 1 with 9 - 40 ridges , and of type 2 with 7 - 15 ridges . according to böggemann ( 2002 ) , hemipodus olivieri orensanz & gianuca 1974 is synonymous with hemipodia californiensis . this species is similar to hemipodia pustatula ( friedrich 1956 ) in relation to the proboscideal papillae and anterior parapodia . however , h . pustatula has the prechaetal lobe of the posterior chaetiger much more slender and thinner , and the ventral cirrus slender , triangular to digitiform and longer than the postchaetal lobe . besides this , h . pustatula has a small digitate distal process on the prechaetal lobes starting from the mid - body ; such a process is absent in h . californiensis . the smallest specimen examined here is in agreement with the description of juveniles of h . olivieri ( = h . californiensis ) . the largest specimens described by these authors ( 115 mm long ) correspond to the adults described here , but the prechaetal lobes on posterior chaetigers are slightly longer in our specimens . this difference may be due to specimen sizes , because the smaller the specimen , the more elongated is the prechaetal lobe . the same appears to be true for the rings of the proboscideal papillae ; i . e . , the larger the specimen , the higher the number of rings . several specimens from 35 mm long had gametes inside the coelomic cavity .
distribution : west coast of america , from california to peru , southeastern coasts of south america . from intertidal zone to 100 m depth ; common in the intertidal zone of fine - sand beaches in são paulo state .

remarks : böggemann ( 2002 ) mentioned 7 - 9 prostomial rings for the species . according to grube ( 1857 ) , the type locality of this species is valparaiso ( chile ) and callao ( peru ) . the original description is not very detailed , however , reexamination of the holotype revealed its characteristics in detail . böggemann ( 2002 ) compared specimens identified as hemipodus rotundus by nonato ( 1981 ) from ilha grande bay ( rio de janeiro ) and verified that it is similar to hemipodia simplex , as our specimens are also .
distribution : cold and warm temperate zone , west and east coasts of north and south america , bay of bengal , east coast of australia , seas around new zealand . from intertidal zone to 137 m depth ; in brazil , h . simplex occurred from the intertidal zone to 22 m .

parapodia have both notopodia and neuropodia in glycera , or lack notopodia apart from the dorsal cirrus in hemipodus .
the large , pallid pink glycera ovigera schmarda , 1861 is recognisable in life from the multiple branching of delicate retractile gills behind the mid - body parapodia . prior new zealand reports of glycera americana leidy , 1855 are most likely g . ovigera or other species . in glycera lamelliformis mcintosh , 1885 the retractile parapodial gills are long and cylindrical . otherwise the glycera species are distinguished by a combination of the relative lengths of the parapodial lobes , the morphology of the proboscis papillae , and the structure of accessory supports called ailerons on the proboscis . these features can be either difficult to observe or subject to interpretation . glycera tesselata grube , 1863 has only long , slender , proboscis papillae . hemipodus simplex ( grube , 1856 ) has flattened papillae and has been recorded widely . glycerids rarely occur on rocky shores but pale hemipodus species , probably hemipodus simplex , occurs under intertidal stones in harbours .
glycera ovigera diagnosis from key of böggemann & fiege , 2001 . 1 - 1 proboscidial papillae without terminal fingernail structure . 2 - 2 two postchaetal lobes ( in mid body ) . 7 - 2 ailerons with interramal plate . 11 - 2 proboscidial papillae with up to 3 ridges . 18 - 2 postchaetal lobes of about same length ( in mid body ) . 20 - 1 prechaetal lobes of about same length . branchiae retractile . 21 - 2 postchaetal lobes both slender triangular . 23 - 1 branchiae retractile , bush - like , dorsally on post side parapodial bases . 24 - 2 . proboscidial papillae with y - shaped ridge in combination with 1 - 3 vertical ridges apically ( americana has 2 ridges ) .
glycera lamelliformis diagnosis from key of böggemann & fiege , 2001 . 1 - 2 proboscidial papillae with terminal fingernail structure . 26 - 1 parapodia of mid - body with two slender triangular postchaetal lobes of about same length . 27 - 2 proboscidial papillae with short stalk and without ridges on nail ; ailerons with triangular base ; blister - like branchiae dorsally on parapodial bases .
glycera benhami diagnosis from key of böggemann & fiege , 2001 . 1 - 1 proboscidial papillae without terminal fingernail structure . 2 - 2 two postchaetal lobes at least from parapodia of mid - body . 7 - 1 ailerons with deeply incised base ; both postchaetal lobes short , rounded ; branchiae absent . 8 - 1 prechaetal lobes of about same length ; digitiform proboscidial papillae present . 9 - 1 digitiform proboscidial papillae with straight , median , longitudinal ridge . 10 - 2 digitiform proboscidial papillae with additional single terminal u - shaped ridge .
sands and sandy muds , and ( less commonly ) crevice - dwelling . glycera ovigera is the commonest intertidal species . glycera lamelliformis is subtidal .

polychaetes can be separated into two large orders , errantia and sedentaria , based on the development of the anterior appendages and life habits . errant polychaetes are active swimmer or crawler while sedentary polychaetes are burrowers or tube dwellers .
usually filter - or deposit - feeders ( i . e . consume sediment )
since the 1970 ' s , about 100 species of sedentary polychaetes have been reported from hong kong ( shin 1998 ) . they belong to 81 genera and 24 families . of these , 46 genera were not determined to species level due to the lack of taxonomic expertise and 17 species of sedentary polychaetes were described as new to science from hong kong ( shin 1998 ) . these new species were scoloplos tumidus ( orbiniidae ) ; poecilochaetus hystricosus , p . spinulosus , p . tricirratus ( poecilochaetidae ) ; prionospio saccifera ( spionidae ) ; polycirrus dodeka , p . multus , p . quadratus , rhinothelepus occabus , streblosoma duplicata , thelepus opinus , t . pulvinus , eupolymnia umbonis , lanice auricula , lomia bandera , longicarpus nodus and terebella copia ( terebellidae ) .
the sedentary polychaetes have its prostomium , proboscis and eyes reduced or absent . most of them live in tubes constructed by themselves in the mud or sand of the ocean bottom . the tubes are straight or u - shaped with two openings . the glands on the ventral surfaces of the segments secrete the tube - forming materials . the tubes may be calcareous , membranous , simple mucus - lined burrows , or composed of sand grains and other foreign materials cemented together .
the sedentary polychaetes are not active swimmers as errant polychaetes , so the tubes are important for protecting them from predators and catching prey . any disturances of predator or prey in the surrounding water can be transmitted to the tube . through the opening of the tube , the tube dwellers can get the clean and oxygenated water above the mud and sand .
many tube dwellers are beautiful with colours such as red , pink , green or iridescent . their parapodia are usually small and short , or with rows of hooklike setae for gripping the sides of the tube . their anterior part are greatly elaborated for feeding and respiration . the sabellids and serpulids have prostomial tentacles developed to form a branchial crown of feather - like processes called radioles . the peristomial tentacles of terebellids are long , filamentous and extensile . the food is brought by beating of cilia in a groove running along each filament .

gunsynd ( 4 october 1967 – 29 april 1983 ) was a champion australian thoroughbred racehorse who won 29 races and a$ 280,455 in prize money .

in his seven starts over one mile ( 1,600 metres ) he was only once defeated , by half-a-head in the epsom handicap .

' ' gunsynd did for racing what muhammad ali did for boxing . ' '
mr clift was most famously known for breeding the champion racehorse gunsynd in the later 1960s .
candysynd , by gunsynd , turned into a super broodmare , producing a number of top horses .
gunsynd was no . 1 with many racegoers , who loved the goondiwindi grey ' s courage .

why is gunsynd so special ? phil percival ' s book , the goondiwindi grey , examines the great horse .
there is also a statue of gunsynd at goondiwindi and he entered the australian racing hall of fame in 2005 .
super impose holds the title but a statue was erected for gunsynd at goondiwindi and tex morton sang his praises .
while he bred gunsynd and had a large number of family present , he has led a busy racing life .
i apologise to subzero . . . he can replace my last gunsynd . . . very underrated horse . . .
this prodigious season resulted in gunsynd ' s being declared australia ' s champion racehorse for the 1972 / 73 season .
thus a title was coined for the mighty gunsynd , drawn from the town in queensland from whence his owners hailed .
queensland trainer bill wehlow knew the feeling . he prepared the goondiwindi grey , gunsynd , through the early years of its stunning career . under his tutelage gunsynd won 12 of 22 starts . however , it wasn ' t until gunsynd was transferred to the legendary tommy smith that the mighty grey rose to greatness as one of australia ' s true turf champions .
still the autumn of 1972 didn’t end there for gunsynd . smith had also set him for the sydney cup over 3200 metres .
it was also a day where clift , the man feted for breeding the goondiwindi grey , gunsynd , received a deserving honour .
gunsynd was one of the most courageous and charismatic horses to race in australia . he loved the crowds and the crowds loved him .

gunsynd hit his true form thereafter . 1971 brought the rawson stakes , epsom handicap , toorak handicap , sandown cup and george adams handicap .
gunsynd humped 60kg and took on a classy field including the great new zealander triton ( 55kg ) , trained by canny kiwi syd brown .
clift looked after gunsynd’s dam woodie wonder , a newtown wonder twin who was sold for $ 100 twice as a yearling at the1960 scone sale .
he is the only animal gracing the queensland icon list , the group 3 gunsynd classic , it is run to honour him at doomben racecourse .
this story gunsynd ' s doncaster win another chapter in the career of one of racing ' s greats first appeared on the sydney morning herald .
today we will have a look at the career of one of the most popular horses to ever run in australia , the goondiwindi grey , gunsynd .
gunsynd , under 60 . 5kg in the 1972 cup , went down by two lengths to piping lane ( 48kg ) after being three wide throughout .
the australian stud book credits breeza plains farmer joe mcnamara as being the breeder of folklore racehorse gunsynd but his actual breeder was his near neighbour john clift .
when he finished racing , gunsynd stood at the historic kia ora stud near scone , then under the ownership of eminent breeding and racing identity george ryder .
although the stud book credits breeza plains farmer joe mcnamara with being the breeder of now folklore racehorse gunsynd , his actual breeder was near neighbour john clift .
yes , and only 20 , 000 in an era of dwindling crowds were present for the super impose ovation but he never maintained the popularity of gunsynd .
gunsynd ' s record of being the only horse to win at 10 tracks in the three eastern seaboard capitals - melbourne , sydney and brisbane - indicated his willingness to run anywhere in any conditions . a travel company in goondiwindi ran special buses to brisbane whenever he was racing there . when the grey began running interstate , the company chartered planes . no matter where gunsynd was racing , the goondiwindi tab had a special window at which only bets on gunsynd were taken .
but perhaps gunsynd’s mightiest performance came in the 1972 melbourne cup where he ran third carrying 60 . 5kg . the winner , piping lane had 48kg , or 12 . 5kg less than gunsynd . this was a time when the melbourne cup was actually a handicap race , not a quality like it is today . gunsynd was handicapped out of this cup , not because of the 60 . 5kg , he could carry that on his ear , but because of the low limit .
consistency , too , added to gunsynd’s appeal . while 1600 metres was his best distance , like super impose , he did race boldly in the melbourne cup .
ironically kia ora stud came under the ownership of john clift in the 1970s and over a decade he stood sunset hue , gunsynd and the latter’s remote relation baguette .
the next season saw gunsynd switching stables from bill wehlow to tommy smith for the 1970 / 71 season , and the rest , as they say , is history .
the photo pretty much says it all . its a statue and not much else . however there is a gunsynd museum with a bit more to e inside the visitor centre
in trackwork gunsynd showed enough promise for his connections to think he might turnnout to be a handy racehorse but when he lined up at the official barrier trials he showed a glimpse of what was to come . in september 1969 gunsynd went to the eagle farm barrier trials . he was steadied off the early pace but stormed home to win easily by 5 lengths .
it was a move which saw clift at one stage standing at kia ora , a stud he operated for a decade , sunset hue , gunsynd and the latter’s remote relation baguette .
ammo girl , a daughter of gunsynd bred by hall of fame trainer tommy smith , produced emancipation , a grey bletchingly mare who was 1983 - 84 australian horse of the year .
such a gorgeous town . lovely shopping but the pride of the place is the magnificent statue of my favourite grey , gunsynd . such fond memories of him racing and as steward .
no doubt character contributed to his appeal . gunsynd loved the limelight . at times on leaving the enclosure before a race , the stallion would prop until he received the necessary applause .
due to the handicap trainer tommy smith decided to use the heavier roy higgins on gunsynd and not langby , the stable jockey , to cut down on the dead - weight factor .
part replay of 1972 $ 40k aud w s cox plate at moonee valley vic 28 / 10 / 1972 won by gunsynd rider roy higgins gunsynd , 6 / 4 second 7 all shot 4 / 1 third 10 magnlfique 33 / 1 was one of the most popular racehorses in australia for many years . in winning the 1972 cox plate took his earnings to $ 235 , 815 which surpassed tulloch ' s record of $ 220 , 247 which had stood for years . gunsynd at his next start ran third in 1972 vrc melbourne cup . full result
as a three - year - old gunsynd had six wins ( four in brisbane , two in sydney ) . this was the period when the horse was transferred to the legendary tommy smith to train . in his three - year - old season , gunsynd won the time honoured rawson stakes and the chelmsford stakes . both these races had been won in the past by phar lap , bernbrough and tulloch . so to win them as a three - year - old was another indication of the champion horse that gunsynd was to become , if he was not there already .
gunsynd may never have been to goondiwindi in country queensland , that is up for debate , but his owners were definitely from this town that can be found a few hours’ drive straight west from the gold coast . gunsynd was one of the most popular horses to ever run in australia . it is even said , that after a particularly good victory , gunsynd would stop in front of the grandstand and bow to the applauding crowd . he is also the best grey horse to ever run in this country . it has even been said that his win in the 1972 cox plate re - energized the race and allowed it to become the spectacle it is today . there is a good argument for this considering the prize money for the cox plate went up by 50 % from 1971 to 1972 . bernborough is probably the most popular horse to ever run in australia ; however , gunsynd might be a close second . gunsynd even has a song about him !
on monday , gunsynd plc ( gun : lse ) closed at 0 . 0375 , 25 . 00 % above the 52 week low of 0 . 03 set on nov 29 , 2017 .
connections of victorian colt violate are likely to continue with court action in an attempt to overturn last month ' s gunsynd classic result at eagle farm despite the queensland racing integrity commission rejecting their complaint .
the grey colt that would one day become famous as gunsynd the goondiwindi grey was foaled at the dip stud at breeza in northern nsw between gunnedah and tamworth on october 4 1967 . although there were no outward signs of the champion of the future when he was a young horse gunsynd did carry the blood of both the barb and carbine in his pedigree both australian racing greats of the late 1800s .
gunsynd drew 50 , 000 to randwick for his second - last race , the autumn stakes , little more than an exhibition gallop against common opposition , and was cheered as he bolted away down the straight .
gunsynd plc , formerly evocutis plc , is an investing company . the company operates in investment activities segment . the company ' s principal activity is that of investing by focusing on acquiring companies and / or projects with
gunsynd was a favorite of australian punters as the result of being one of the finest greys to ever take the turf and a tenacity when running that served to take the victory when other horses pulled up as beaten .
gunsynd was bought for $ 1300 at a brisbane sale by four businessmen from the queensland town of goondiwindi : jack bishop , jim coorey , germaine
winks
mcmicking and george pippos . pippos was the publican at goondiwindi ' s victoria hotel , where his three friends drank . the colt ' s name was a portmanteau word for
goondiwindi syndicate
( the town is pronounced gun - diwindi ) . brisbane trainer bill wehlow guided gunsynd to 12 wins in 22 starts before the grey was sent to randwick to be trained by tommy smith , a move that was unpopular with queenslanders . smith guided gunsynd to 17 wins from 32 starts and into the history books .
when he finished racing , gunsynd went to stud at the historic kia ora stud near scone , one then conducted by eminent breeding and racing identity george ryder but one which in the mid 1970s became the property of clift .
clift was not only a legacy as the breeder of gunsynd but for his wise counsel as a long - time director on the board of the bloodhorse breeders’ association of nsw and seventy years’ very active involvement in country racing .
gunsynd was foaled in australia in 1967 , sired by native son sunset hue had damned by woodie wonder . he was a good grey , a not all that common color , from the dips stud at breeza , nsw .
gunsynd never won a melbourne cup but is possibly australia ` s most famous horse after phar lap . a song that topped the hit parade was written in his honour while goondiwindi abounds in memorials - a motel , a hotel lounge , and a local grey - haired medico and sportsman ( nicknamed the goondiwindi grey ) are named after gunsynd . his name was coined from ` goondiwindi syndicate ` which owned the horse during his racing years . from 54 starts , gunsynd won 29 races , including the 1971 epsom handicap and the 1972 cox plate , and came third in the 1972 melbourne cup setting a stakes winning record in 1972 . the horse retired from racing in 1973 .
lining up for the golden slipper gunsynd took on fellow future champions including baguette and dual choice . as they flew from the start gunsynd struggled to stay in touch and was ninth turning for home . he ran on in the straight but passed the post in 7th position as baguette defeated royal show with dual choice in third place . ten days later gunsynd started in the fernhill hcp over the mile course at randwick . after being well back early he moved to 9th by the 800m and was 5th around the turn . despite being burdened with 60kg he hit the front by the 200m and came away to win by 1 1 / 4 lengths from the favourite tumberlina with ishkoodah third .
the australian stud book credits breeza plains farmer joe mcnamara as being the breeder of folklore racehorse gunsynd but his actual breeder was his near neighbour john clift , the renowned racing figure who died last week at the age of 91 .
revered as the goodiwindi grey and immortalised in a ballad of that name by singer tex morton , gunsynd was one of three stakes winner resulting from matings of sunset hue with woodie wonder , all produced under the care of john clift .
gunsynd overall record of 29 wins , 7 seconds and 8 thirds is all the more impressive given that his two - year - old season featured only one major win , the 1969 hopeful stakes , and only the chelmsford stakes in 1970 .
gunsynd stood stud commencing in 1973 . like many overachievers before and since , his progeny was not particularly productive , but he did sire a filly , ammo girl , who was the dam of australian champion racehorse 1983 / 84 , emancipation .
gunsynd ' s run in the 1971 sandown cup was the final run of a long campaign . after transferring to the smith stable early in his four - year - old season , he had six races for wins in three premier mile races - the epsom , toorak and george adams handicaps - a second in a rosehill flying and unplaced finishes in the cox plate and caulfield cup . the sandown cup was his seventh race in two months . higgins said sandown ' s spacious track and uphill straight suited the grey ' s swooping style . after starting 7 - 4 favourite , gunsynd won comfortably .
i ' ve always said light fingers was my favourite horse , but gunsynd was the most fun ,
higgins said .
gunsynd was the most popular horse to come out of queensland . he cost only $ 1300 as a yearling and ended up australia ' s top money earner in the early 1970s . a brilliant miler who is the only horse to win australia ' s four group 1 miles - epsom , toorak , emirates and doncaster - in the one season . ran third in a melbourne cup carrying a mammoth 60kgs . throughout his career , gunsynd was trained by h . wehlow and t . j . smtih .
goondiwindi was first proclaimed a municipality on 20 october 1888 . the town boundaries have not altered to this day , and before federation the town served as a border crossing between queensland and new south wales . the customs house from that era is now a museum . the most famous resident of goondiwindi was gunsynd , a thoroughbred race horse known as
the goondiwindi grey
guided by tim lowe , in the late 1960s and early 1970s gunsynd had 29 wins including the 1971 epsom handicap and the 1972 cox plate and came third in the 1972 melbourne cup . the name
gunsynd
came from goondiwindi syndicate goondiwindi , syndicate . there is a statue of gunsynd in the town centre . geography goondiwindi is on the macintyre river in queensland near the new south wales border , 350 kilometres ( 220 mi ) south west of the queensland state capital , brisbane . the twin town of boggabilla is nearby , on the new south wales side of the border . most of the area surrounding the town is farmland .
no gunsynd was the grey baguette was just standing at the same stud . maybe greys are so popular because they are so easy to find in the field . with my failing sight its hard to spot the differences in bays with similar colour jockey silks .
there is no doubt that gunsynd was so popular because he was a stand - out grey that had a tremendous will to win . his record is unbelievable when we consider some of the horses that are labelled champions today . take a look at this record…
the colt was sold at the brisbane yearling sale for $ 1300 to a goondiwindi syndicate . named gunsynd , he won 29 races including the ws cox plate , doncaster , epsom , caulfield stakes and futurity stakes and was placed in the caulfield and melbourne cups .
according to roy higgins , who rode gunsynd more than did any other jockey , you could attribute the horse ' s enormous popularity mostly to his colour and his pattern of racing . after settling towards the rear of the field , his grey coat made him easy to follow as he swooped home with a late run . the late racecaller bert bryant was famous for heralding a gunsynd swoop with the announcement :
here comes the goondiwindi grey !
then there was gunsynd ' s courage . he was bred to run 1000 metres but his favoured distance was 1600 metres , as indicated by winning five races over a mile and finishing second in his other race at the distance . yet he won up to 2500 metres and famously finished third in the 1972 melbourne cup while carrying 60 . 5 kilograms . higgins this week remembered the roar of the flemington crowd when gunsynd received the nod for third place after a photo finish .
you ' d swear he ' d won ,
higgins said .
they knew he ' d given his all .
i apologise to subzero . . . he can replace my last gunsynd . . . very underrated horse . . . < ! - - bmi _ safeaddonload ( bmi _ load ,

his sire sunset hue was a talented racehorse and as a 2yo won over 5 furlongs and was second in the ajc sires produce . in 18 race starts he also won an encourage hcp and ajc trial hcp over 10 furlongs before being injured in vrc derby which resulted in an early retirement to stud . in addition to gunsynd sunset hue also sired thge stakeswinners sunset sue , sun opal , sunset gem , sunset red and thumb print . gunsynd was a member of his third crop and sunset hue was ultimately at stud for 8 seasons .
resuming over 6 furlongs ( 1200m ) at eagle farm in february gunsynd sat in second position before winning hard held by 1 1 / 2 lengths from orange spec to whom he conceded 9 . 5kg in weight . it was then onto sydney and the endeavour hcp over 7 furlongs ( 1400m ) a fortnight later . showing signs of greeness gunsynd tried to duck in after turning for home before drifting out to the centre of the track . despite this the grey colt had too much in hand for his rivals and defeated medici by 2 lengths .
he gave me one of the best days of my life when i visited kia ora as a teenager ( birthday present ) to meet gunsynd . my father got permission so we turned up and literally went down to the stallions by ourselves . gunsynd did his usual performances - even in retirement he was a character and when we said hello to baguette ( also there ) he sulked like a spoiled child . i had a ball and will always remember that day . mind you wouldn ' t expect studs today to be so free and easy !
as a five - year - old gunsynd won eight races ; the rosehill stakes , the colin stephens stakes , the yalumba stakes , the cox plate , the blamey , the queen elizabeth at flemington , the rawson again and the autumn stakes . then he went to stud !
gunsynd went for a well - earned spell before running his heart out for another three campaigns , over two autumns and one spring . his greatest triumph was the 1972 cox plate , having finished seventh and fourth at two previous attempts . before his last race , the 1973 queen elizabeth stakes at randwick , he reportedly walked on to the track and bowed to the crowd in a final salute . the result was a gallant second to apollo eleven . on retirement , a statue of gunsynd was struck in apex park , goondiwindi , on the banks of the macintyre river . in 2004 , gunsynd was one of the first 12 inductees on to the queensland heritages icons list , as ratified by the national trust of queensland . his fellow icons included goanna oil , bundaberg rum , the backyard mango tree , and finishing sentences with the word
hey
.
he returned to eagle farm two weeks later for the hopeful stakes over 5 furlongs ( 1000m ) . gunsynd was near the rear early before moving up to 10th around the home turn but soon exploded in the straight to win going away by 3 lengths in race record time . three weeks later he lined up in the sapling stakes again over the 5 furlongs at eagle farm . again he was amongst the pack around the turn before racing away to win from gentle anthony . gunsynd was then given a let up before preparing for a tilt at the 1970 golden slipper stakes .
after a moderately successful career as a two and three - year - old , gunsynd was transferred to tommy smith under whose care he realised his full potential . under smith he had 32 starts for 17 victories and only one unplaced run . in the spring of 1971 he won the epsom , toorak and george adams handicaps and the sandown cup , and in the autumn of 1972 he recorded five straight wins including the futurity stakes and the doncaster handicap . the following spring gunsynd captured the w . s . cox plate , and ran a magnificent third in the melbourne cup under 60 . 5kg .
maybe it was the melbourne aspect but the lee freedman - conditioned gelding lacked gunsynd’s consistency . in a savage reversal super impose was last of six in the bmw at rosehill on march 23 , 1991 , but a week later again showed his affinity for randwick by winning the doncaster to a cool reception .
with higgins just waving the whip , gunsynd coasted to the line two lengths ahead of raad , with better talk a close third . big philou ran a good race to finish fourth , and will now be given a spell .

the pendock family was associated with “the vic” for three generations before selling it in the 1960’s to mr george pippos . george pippos was a member of the syndicate who raced gunsynd and he named his new gunsynd lounge after the champion . he has made many other improvements in the past decade , smoothly blending the old with the new . large clear windows have replaced the stained glass , but the main entrance still has its art deco front door ; and the graceful panels of art nouveau glass still adorn shop fronts in the hotel building . the wide verandahs today are still unchanged – a superb vantage point for street processions !
the colt entered training with bill wehlow as the syndicate started to think of what to call their new acquisition . a number of names were thought of such as woodie go , we wonder and hue wonder but ultimately he was named gunsynd a mixture of his owners home town - gun - and syndicate - synd .
clift , who died last week in sydney aged 91 , got the use of woodie wonder who in 1967 produced a colt he reared on the family’s the dip , a major producer of wheat , sheep and cattle and breeder and owner of racehorses , that carried the jc brand under the name of gunsynd to glory on the racetrack .
if you are ever in goondiwindi the # 1 must - see attraction would have to be statue of the famous stallion , gunsynd ( aka ' the goondiwindi grey ) . the statue is nicely rendered in bas - relief and definitely not garish or over - the - top , which was good to see . ' the big . . .
another factor in gunsynd ' s popularity was the kinks in his personality . the grey had a fascination with flashlights . if photographers started shooting , he would remain rooted to the spot and try to track all the flash bulbs . when the flash bulbs stopped , he would move on .
little things intrigued him ,
higgins said .
as for violate , he won ' t have to wait long for a chance to prove his gunsynd classic run was no fluke as he lines up this saturday in the rough habit plate at doomben over 2000 metres before progressing to the grand prix stakes in two weeks and then his ultimate aim , next month ' s g1 queensland derby .
loved gunsynd when he was racing . he was a real star . after he had retired we had to drop a horse off at the camden vet hospital . as we were leaving the very nice vet asked us we would like to meet gunsynd , who was there for an operation on his nose from memory . saw the familiar head hanging over the stable door but didn ' t even get to pat him before he tried to take a hunk out of my shoulder . he wasn ' t the nicest of horses to handle , but it is funny a lot of the really good ones are a bit cranky . he was just about white by then . i was also a huge fan of gold edition . gutsy mare .
as a four - year - old , gunsynd did something that had never been done before and will probably never be done again . he won all four of the major mile handicaps in australia ; the epsom , the doncaster , the toorak and the emirates ( it was known as the george adams back then ) . he seems to have snuck into the spring - run epsom with 8 . 1 ( 51kg ) , then he won the toorak at caulfield with 9 . 3 ( 58kg ) , the emirates with 9 . 3 ( 58kg ) and the autumn doncaster with a staggering 9 . 7 ( 60 . 5kg ) . in between all these feature mile wins , gunsynd also managed to pick up a flying at doomben , the 2400m sandown cup , the 1200m clissold handicap at randwick , the futurity , the 2000m queens plate and the 2400m queen elizabeth at flemington . so in his four - year - old season , as well as winning all four major mile handicaps , gunsynd won six other races , all of group standing , over distances between 1200m and 2400m . extraordinary stuff !
versatility is an apt adjective to describe gunsynd ' s running style . he won at distances as short as 1200 metres and as long as 2500 metres . neither a true sprinter or stayer , he was well nigh unbeatable in the mile . in fact , his only loss at this distance out of seven starts , by less than a head , was the epsom handicap of 1972 .
whoooshhhh ! ! outstanding last to first win from the big grey linton yesterday . we ' ve had some outstanding greys race down under . who has been the best of the white warriors ? ? greys like gunsynd , schillaci , subzero , ming dynasty , efficient , linton , emancipation and more . can you name more ? also who is your top 5 greys ? cheers , jamal .
revered as the goodiwindi grey and immortalised in a ballad of that name by singer tex morton , gunsynd was one of three stakes - winning offspring of matings by sunset hue and woodie wonder produced in the care of clift , the others being sunset red ( who won the stc w . j . mckell cup , queensland cup ) and sunset sue ( winner of qtc c . e . mcdougall stakes ) .
gee baguette i visited gunsynd up at kia ora where he let the whole family pet him until we decided to go across and say hello to baguette . he was so offended he went into his shed and then there was this little grey head looking around the corner to see if we ' d come back to him ! he was very gentle that day and he had been at stud at least one season .

gunsynd , bred in breeza by john clift , appeared to love the crowd and to play up to it . and the crowd reciprocated . he was , without doubt , one of the most popular horses to grace the australian turf , and his win in the 1972 cox plate at moonee valley , when he was ridden by roy higgins , underscored his class and courage , and the affection the crowd had for the horse . photo : urltoken
gunsynd ' s dam was woodie wonder and as a twin it was amazing she survived let alone going on to produce a champion at stud . she started in only one race where she ran third at tamworth before going to stud . her first foal was by grenfell star and named kilkenny star in 1964 before she missed the following year . in 1966 she produced the stakeswinner sunset sue before gunsynd was foaled in 1967 . in 1968 she foaled sunset red who included the wj mckell cup amongst his wins and this was the third and last union of sunset hue and woodie wonder . her remaining foals were 1969 curra royale by game of chance , 1970 gunwyne by tourmaline , 1973 gunslinger by high hat , 1974 woodie ever by emerilo , 1976 bold illusion by rascolnik and 1978 wonderful feeling by rascolnik . she missed in 1971 , 1972 , 1975 and 1977 while her last foal who was produced to rascolnik died young . woodie wonder died in april 1980 .

the connections of violate have lodged an official complaint against the result of last weekend ' s gr3 gunsynd classic with the queensland racing integrity commission , reports aap . the brent stanley - trained violate was beaten a nose by the john zielke - trained dreams aplenty whose jockey , tiffani brooker , was later suspended for excessive whip use . brooker was suspended for seven days and fined $ 2 , 000 for using the whip 17 times before the 100m , 12 times more than permitted under the australian rules of racing . however , brooker ' s breach of the rules was not detected until after correct weight was declared , meaning violate ' s owners were denied the opportunity to lodge a protest .
the result of the consideration will be made public at a later stage ,
a spokesperson for qric said yesterday .
1 . gunsynd ( four - year - old grey horse ; trainer : t . smith ; jockey : r . higgins ; weight : 57 . 5 kilograms ; win : $ 1 . 40 ; place : $ 0 . 85 ) ; 2 . raad ( 7yo brown gelding ; a . bentley ; b . gilders ; 48kg ; $ 1 . 50 ) ; 3 . better talk ( 8yo chestnut gelding ; m . willmott ; r . setches ; 49 . 5kg ; $ 2 . 30 ) . margin : two lengths by a half - head . time for 2400 metres : two minutes 33 . 3 seconds . prize - money : $ 12 , 000 plus a gold cup worth $ 1000 ( first $ 8400 ; second $ 2160 ; third $ 960 ; fourth $ 480 ) .
one of australian horse racing ' s most beloved champions , gunsynd was named after the goondiwindi ( popularly pronounced gundawindi ) syndicate who purchased him , which is where the horse got his name . his heart , sheer courage and will to win was astounding - the crowds adored him and he adored them too . as a born & bred
gundy - ite
, his deeds still affect me to this day , so i thought i might put together a little personal memento of some of his finest group 1 wins , together with some pictures of the famous grey fellow , so that people both new & old can reflect on just how great he was , and just what he meant ( and still means ) to the people of goondiwindi and indeed , to all australian racegoers . hope you all enjoy a little trip back down memory lane & cheers to everyone back in gundy . . . . .
as a yearling gunsynd didn ' t particularly stand out from his paddock mates and was described as perhaps more placid than other yearlings and preferred to stay behind in the pack in the paddock however he was considered a nice moving horse . soon it was time for the grey colt to head to the sales but in transit he knocked a leg which left a nasty looking lump . ironically the truck passed through goondiwindi as his breeder stopped to get lunch though none of the onlookers could have guessed the fame one of the young thoroughbreds in the truck would bring to the small town . scheduled as lot 28 the colt had at least one person interested in buying him despite the lump . g mcmicking had been interested in his year older sister the year before but missed out . this year he got together a group of 3 others from his home town of goondiwindi consisting of a bishop , j coorey and a pippos to put in $ 1000 each to purchase a horse . mr mcmicking ' s first choice was the grey colt and with many turned off due to his leg the colt was knocked down to the syndicate for only $ 1 , 300 .
initial thoughts were to head back to the brisbane winter carnival but connections decided that a spell and back to prepare for the ajc derby ( then held in the spring ) would be the best plan .

she couldn’t win a bush maiden for mcnamara before she was mated with clift’s new sire sunset hue on an alternate service arrangement .
john clift got the use of woodie wonder in 1967 when she produced a grey colt he reared on the family’s property the dip , a major producer of wheat , sheep and cattle and also his base as a breeder of racehorses that carried the jc brand .
when he retired from racing he was the highest earner in australian racing history to that time and was subsequently inducted into the racing hall of fame .
the others were sunset red , a w . j . mckell cup and queensland cup winner , and sunset sue ( qtc c . e . mcdougall stakes ) .
all inherited the grey colouring of their sire sunset hue , a freakish roman nosed , swaybacked stallion who retired to the dip in 1964 in the ownership of john clift and n . s . lane after breaking down while in the victoria derby .
he had contested 10 races as a 2yo for a win and eight minor places including a second in the ajc sires’ produce stakes .

john clift’s legacy to the racing and breeding industry extended to many roles including director of the bloodhorse breeders’ association of nsw and 70 years active involvement with country race clubs in the hunter valley and north west nsw where he also served as a local government councillor .
