The six-year-old, who lives in Queensland, joined a number of big names. Gammalite was the first to do it from 1982 to 1984, then Westburn Grant repeated the astonishing feat from 1990 to 1992.
Most recently, three-time Miracle Mile winner King Of Swing also won three consecutive Grand Circuit championship titles from 2020-2022.
Although the challengers were on Leap To Fame this season, his huge second place in last Saturday evening’s $250,000 Group 1 Blacks A Fake at Albion Park earned him a comfortable win.’
He earned 60 points for second and finished 2025 with 320 points, well ahead of Don Hugo, who defeated him twice, with 230 points.
Third place could change at the final stage of this year’s Grand Circuit, the $450,000 WA Pacing Cup held at Gloucester Park on Friday evening.
Leap To Fame completed five of the seven Grand Circuit stages this year, with his only win coming in the Brisbane Inter Dominion final. He was second in the Hunter Cup, second in the Miracle Mile, third in the Victoria Cup and second in the Blacks A Fake.
Don Hugo earned most of his points with wins over Leap To Fame in the Miracle Mile and Blacks A Fake. He also finished fifth in the Hunter Cup and fourth in the Inter Dominion final.
Leap To Fame will continue racing next year, but its quest for an unprecedented fourth consecutive Grand Circuit crown will be seriously challenged by the strongest crop of open-class Aussie pacers in many years, led by Kingman, Don Hugo, Swayzee, Minstrel, Mister Smartee and the emerging The Janitor.
