MILLION DOLLAR CHASE
In 2018 Greyhound Racing NSW introduced the Million Dollar Chase, the richest greyhound race event in the world, and one which culminates with a Grand Final at Sydney’s Wentworth Park in late October, the winner to collect a $1 million prize.
The Million Dollar Chase is more than just one race however, with the series weaving its way through Regional NSW, greyhounds are able to qualify for semi-finals which are run at Wentworth Park. From there eight greyhounds qualify for the Grand Final, where one becomes the sport’s latest millionaire.
The event also has a strong focus on the welfare side of the industry, with 100% of all entry fees donated to the GRNSW charity, Greyhounds as Pets, to help with re-homing of greyhounds after their racing careers. A gala luncheon is also held prior to the Grand Final, with money raised at that event, also going to GAP NSW.
In its inaugural year, the race was won by Mystic Riot, trained at Llandilo in Western Sydney by Jodie Lagogiane, whose husband Peter was her handler that night and produced emotional scenes as he danced up the home straight in jubilation.
A year later, and this time it was Western Sydney couple Frank and Tracey Hurst celebrating as their greyhound Good Odds Harada took out the world’s richest race.

PETER MOSMAN OPAL
The Classic was first run at Harold Park in 1952 when won by Robin Buchanan. In those days the race was called the Bi-Annual Classic and remained the same until 1988 when the GBOTA renamed the Classic honouring legendary administrator the late Peter Mosman. Like all other GBOTA features it moved with the club to Wentworth Park in 1987. Some outstanding sprinters have won the race over its journey going back to Miss Oakey (53), Tell You Why (59), Classy Jane (the dam of Black Top 60), Rokoko (68), The Smoother (70), Satan’s Legend (78), Tegimi (79), Promises Free (82), Brother Fox (85), Farmer Wilson (91), How’s The Fort (92), Worthy Reward (93), Tap Dance (94), Solve The Puzzle (98), Great Wish (99), Winsome Dollars (2001), Elite State (2003), Surf Lorian (2004), Tuiaki (2010) and a trio of Wheeler owned winners Allen Harper, Garrick Bale and the mighty Xylia Allen before winning again with the 2015 winner the mighty Fernando Bale. The GBOTA in 2019 made the Group 1 Classic a Bitches only race and renamed the event the Peter Mosman Opal. The final is conducted in July on the same night as the Group 1 Vic Peters Classic which is for dog pups only.

PAUL WHEELER – SIMPLY THE BEST
Originally known as the NSW St Leger, and then the Ladbrokes Paws Of Thunder, the ‘Paul Wheeler Simply The Best’ is one of the most prestigious events on the NSW racing calendar.
Run for the first time in 1957 and won by Idle Sign, the race had a name change in 2001 and at the same time attained Group 1 status. The race then changed name again in 2024 and a moniker was added to remember one of the great greyhound participants of the modern era – the late Paul Wheeler.

LADIES BRACELET
The Ladies Bracelet was first conducted by the GBOTA at Harold Park over 500 yards in 1971 when won by that mighty little brindle sprinter Shapley Escort. The event is open to the best 32 bitches nominated and the Final of the event is always conducted on the Saturday eve of Mother’s Day every year. The trophy is a beautiful ladies bracelet/watch and has been donated by the sponsor Evans & Sons Jewellery for many years. The feature was held at the GBOTA’s head quarters until 1987 when the track was closed for greyhound racing. It moved to Wentworth Park in 1988 and has been won by some famous bitches over the years. Gold Spring won the race in successive years 79/80 plus AGRA Hall of Famer Winifred Bale in 1983. Other brilliant greyhounds to win included Mandarin Girl, Camden’s Ghost, Jessica Casey, Short County and Victorians Amy’s Doll and Mutombo Miss. Listed below is the full honour roll.

SUMMER SIX-HUNDY
The first running of the Wentworth Park Gold Cup was in 1966 over 790 yards and it was won by Brigade in 43.8s. The honour roll of the Gold Cup is a who’s who of stayers. Among the winners have been Zoom Top (1968 and 1969), Ragsie (1972), Miss High Lo (1974), Kongwak (1984), National Lass (1986), and in more recent times, Space Star (2015) and in 2019 Blue Moon Rising leading home his sister Poco Dorado. After a Covid-19 cancellation in 2020, the Gold Cup was back in 2020 and featured some of the State’s best stayers. The feature distance event was at Group 2 level from 1995 until 2012 dropping to Group 3 in 2013.
The NSW GBOTA voted to move the Wentworth Park Gold Cup to Gosford and reestablishing the event as the Summer-Six Hundy won in the first year by Punter’s Bandit trained by Jodie Lord.

RICHMOND RICHES
The Richmond Riches took its first steps in 2014 when the Richmond Riches Puppy Auction was held. A total of 325 pups went under the hammer yielding a gross amount of $1.4 million. The lure was that pups going through the sale could race in two years’ time for $100,000 in the Richmond Riches race series. The inaugural race in 2016 was taken out by Tony Brett’s Thirty Talks, purchased at the sale for $30,000. Jason Mackay’s Mister Twister would win the Richmond Riches in 2017, while in 2018, the scratching of Uncle Donuts allowed first reserve My Mate Fox to gain a start and the Peter Barnes-trained roughie saluted. In 2019, a young dog from the kennel of Forbes trainer Jack Smith who was about to become the next big thing, a dog named Feral Franky, claimed the Richmond Riches.

The race which was formerly known as the Golden Easter Egg Consolation, essentially remains a consolation event for those narrowly missing out on qualifying for the Egg final. It was renamed in 2009 to The Ambrosoli in recognition of the contribution that legendary race caller Paul Ambrosoli has made to the greyhound industry, and in particular Wentworth Park. A Group 3 event, The Ambrosoli field is made up of the greyhounds which finish third and fourth in the semi-finals of the Golden Easter Egg a week earlier.

BLACK TOP
The NSW NCA could not have selected a better name for this on going feature at the Gardens. The race is now operated by the GBOTA Black Top by Top Linen from Classy Jane was an icon of the sport, he was raced by Frank Holmes of Highfields (near Newcastle) and his breeder Mrs. Edna Hanson bred him in Birmingham Gardens the suburb in which the Gardens track is located. He raced in the early 60’s only contested 20 races for 17 wins and two seconds. He retired as Australia’s highest stakes winner with 5352 Pounds. His introductory stud fee set at 65 pound was a record service fee in Australia. A breeding success of extraordinary proportions Black Top created his own dynasty which continually re-wrote the record books on greyhound racing in this country. The feature races his progeny won and the stars he produced are too numerous to list, he served a record 1326 bitches and sired 6000 puppies earning approximately $150,000 in service fees. There is no doubt we will never see another Black Top, he was the one and only.

BOB PAYNE SPRINT
First run in 1961 the Winter Stake is a time honoured GBOTA feature sprint event. It was sponsored for many years commencing in the early 80’s by Bradshaw’s Waste one of Greyhound racings major contributors during that period. The company shared a long affiliation with former GBOTA Chairman of eight years (1978-1985) Bob Payne and following his retirement from that position Bradshaw’s requested the Winter Stake be named after Payne to commemorate his massive contribution to Greyhound racing in New South Wales and in particular the GBOTA, he had first joined as a member in 1943. The feature race has remained named in his honour and is now held as a memorial following Bob Payne’s passing nine years ago. For the first and only time the event was conducted twice this year as the Summer Stake in January but has now been moved to late September and renamed the Spring Sprint with the cross over period causing no race to be run in 2011. The race has been won by some of the sports finest sprinters and listed below is the honour roll. The feature was conducted at Harold Park 457m on the Grass Track 1964 -1987, at Wentworth Park 520m on the Grass Track 1988 – 1991 and Wentworth Park 520m on Loam since 1992.

LISMORE CUP
The Lismore Club has enjoyed 33 years of being sponsored by the Lismore Workers Club, something quite rare these days furthermore the association is set to continue in 2013.
The Cup has been won by some fantastic sprinters over the years, since it was first run in 1968 when won by Bonnie Beaver, the prizemoney was the princely sum of $50. It was worth $500 when John Scholten took over the reins in 1978 that year the cup was won by Deb’s Jewel and rose to $8000 when Rapid Journey won it in 1998.
The Association has gradually increased the prizemoney and this year the first prize to the winner is $40,000 and holds Group 2 status. The race was first awarded Group status (Group 3) in 2001. The event is open to the best 32 greyhounds nominated and below is a list of Cup winners since 1968.

CHIEF HAVCO CUP GUNNEDAH
The feature event on the calendar of the Gunnedah Greyhound Club, named in honour of their favourite son, champion chaser Chief Havoc. The Cup has been won three times in recent years by Northern Rivers’ trainer Garry Streatfield. Streatfield won the 2013 and 2014 Chief Havoc Cup Finals when his grand campaigner Glenreagh Rocket won back to back titles, coincidentally the last on grass, and the first on sand at the Gunnedah track. In 2019, Glenreagh Skud, who is the son of El Grand Senor and Magic Diore – who was runner-up to Glenreagh Rocket in the 2014 Cup – won the Cup again for Streatfield.

TWEED HEADS GALAXY
The Border Park Galaxy was the brainchild of legendary club administrator Harry Pledger, Pledger severed a record number of years as club secretary now in his 80’s he is still Club president. The name of the race was conceived by Harry and meant a galaxy of stars racing under the stars. It has been a most sought-after feature since its inception in 1971 and has been won by a number of quick dogs over the horseshoe circuit of 420 metres. Not only do they need to have high speed but also the ability to back up on the Monday after winning their heat on the Saturday. The race is just as famous for its winners as it is for the cavalcade of top liners that have got beaten trying to win it. It remained the richest non-TAB feature race in Australia a mantel it had held since King Doolittle won in 1971. The race had to drop prizemoney and Group status in 2010. The last Galaxy held was won by Pierino for John and Glenda Dart in 2013. Sadly, the land the venue raced on was sold to be used for the nearby Gold Coast Airport in 2016 and a replacement racing venue for the Tweed Heads club has yet to be found. Listed below is the full honour roll.

MID NORTH COAST CUP
Greyhound racing has been an integral part of the Mid North Coast region in Taree, New South Wales, since the 1950s, showcasing a rich heritage in the sport.
Details on the Taree Cup are scarce, but records suggest that the event was first held in 1980, with Markaneve winning the inaugural race over a distance of 537 metres.
In January 2020, the GRNSW board of directors gave their approval for Taree to host TAB race meetings, subject to the completion of necessary upgrades at the venue to meet TAB standards.
Amidst the delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the necessary upgrades, the club successfully conducted its inaugural full TAB race meeting on Wednesday, 17 June 2020.
By October 2023, with approval and support from GRNSW, three clubs Taree, Wauchope and Kempsey would merge all together and form the now known Mid North Coast Greyhound Racing Club.
The comprehensive $6 million renovation of the Taree track commenced in 2023, marking the transition from a grass to a sand surface, in addition to the introduction of a new track and facilities.
The updated complex hosted its inaugural meeting on Saturday, 14 September 2024.
The Taree Cup was held as a Group 3 event for the first time in 2023, and following a renaming in 2024, it became the Mid North Coast Cup, which was won by Spirit Boy, trained by Craig Gardoll.
