Star apprentice Siena Grima wins the Epsom Handicap, becoming the first apprentice in 45 years to take the race’s Group 1 prize. The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and the Brisbane Times all report that the win comes on her first Group 1 ride.
Grima rides “God’s Window” to the victory, delivering what the outlets describe as a landmark achievement in her career. The coverage highlights the rarity of an apprentice winning the Epsom Handicap, noting the long gap since the last apprentice to do so. The reports focus primarily on the historic nature of the win and Grima’s rise, rather than on broader changes to form or tactics beyond the successful ride.
Across the three sources, the core details match: Grima is an apprentice, the Epsom Handicap is the race, “God’s Window” is the mount, and the significance is both her first Group 1 success and the 45-year wait for an apprentice winner.
