Not Usual Glorious takes home the chocolates in not your usual Apsley Cup

After a day of festivities, the $50,000 race was won by interstate competitor Not Usual Glorious, while the Wimmera's Brawl won second place.

South Australian trainer Travis Doudle-trained gelding, ridden by jockey Neil Farley, blitzed the competition to win the race by three lengths.

The result never looked in doubt as the visiting racehorse cruised to lead at both the 800m and 400m marks.

Not Usual Glorious is owned by Port Adelaide AFL players Darcy Byrne-Jones, Tom Rockcliff and 2021 Brownlow medallist Ollie Wines.
