Friday night’s GRV VicBred Pink Diamond grand finale at Bendigo will be the richest night of provincial greyhound racing in Victoria’s history, with $617,765 up for grabs including $80,565 in breeder bonuses.

Australia’s – and indeed the world’s – premier distance greyhound race, the $250,000 Group 1 RSN Sandown Cup (715m) has been dominated by Victorian-trained stayers over the last decade, with Tasmanian star Chinatown Lad in 2008, the last interstater to reign supreme.

Victoria’s leading trainer Andrea Dailly has an excellent chance of clean-sweeping Thursday night’s Group 1 double-header at Sandown Park, boasting the TAB favourites for both the Harrison-Dawson and Sapphire Crown finals.

From today, Victorian greyhound racing is set to experience a month-long pink rug frenzy aimed at increasing awareness about next month’s inaugural $790,000 VicBred Pink Diamond series.

Champion sprinter Shima Shine is a hot favourite in Wednesday night’s $67,000 G2 Warrnambool Cup Final at 8.38pm, with a comprehensive preview of the night to air into regional Victoria on free-to-air TV station 9Gem and via The Watchdog app from 5.30pm.

It’s certain a local sprinter will reign supreme in Friday night’s $70,000 Group 2 Geelong Gold Cup Final (520m), to be run at 9.27pm.
