Summarizing the Oslo Grand Prix, below is a link to the race replay and a note that B.B.S. Sugarlight’s victory clocked in 1.11.3kr was a new race record, lowering the 2008 time of 1.11.5kr set by L’Amiral Mauzun and equaled in later years by Arch Madness and Commander Crowe. The OGP has produced a host of well-respected winners such as double winners Copiad and Gidde Palema (they are two of four double OGP winners), Sugarcane Hanover, Ourasi, Peace Corps in 1991, Sea Cove, Ganymede, Mara Bourbon, Lisa America and the 2011 through 2014 victors Arch Madness, Commander Crowe, Sebastian K and Univers de Pan.
