The Sportsbet Sandown Cup has steadfastly gained a reputation for the world’s premier greyhound distance race (715m). First run in 1964, the Woolamai Cup (as it was known then) was won by Briar View. The Sandown Cup attracts a huge crowd as trainers and owners compete for the Club’s namesake trophy.
The Group 3 Shootout at Sandown Park is an elite four-dog invitation race for the fastest greyhounds, held in November. It’s a key feature of the Dream Chasers Festival, part of a massive night featuring the G2 Laurels and Melbourne Cup preludes.
