Race 8 at Sandown Park on Sunday 27 November will be remembered for more than Grandate’s upset win.
When the Kevin Quinn trained chaser jumped well from box 1 to break through for his first win in 18 attempts over the Sandown Park 515m, it set the scene for one of the rarer sights on a greyhound track – the field finishing the race in racebook order.
The chances of such a result are 40,320/1, and it is the first time it has occurred at Sandown Park in over a decade.
Grandate paid $14.80 for the win, the exacta $49.80, trifecta $252.10 and First 4 $2839.50.
