Golden Easter Egg history

The Group 1 Golden Easter Egg is the pinnacle of New South Wales greyhound racing, held annually at Wentworth Park on Easter Saturday. Since its inaugural running in 1990, where it was won by Ultra Sense, the race has maintained its Group 1 status and cemented its place as one of Australia’s most prestigious greyhound events.

The race has always been run over the 520m distance, with the first three editions held on a grass surface before the track transitioned to loam in 1993. This iconic surface change has remained ever since, ensuring a consistent and world-class racing standard.

As a three-week series, the Golden Easter Egg begins with heats, followed by semi-finals, culminating in the grand final on Easter Saturday. The series is open to the top 80 greyhounds nominated, plus reserves, ensuring only the nation’s finest compete. Greyhounds can also secure their place in the heats by winning one of the Easter Egg Preludes held in the weeks leading up to the series.

This event is more than just the feature race; it’s a highlight of the Australian greyhound racing calendar, with thousands of spectators gathering at Wentworth Park to witness an electrifying night of racing.

Alongside the Golden Easter Egg final, the evening features a strong support card, including the Group 1 Association Cup, Group 3 New Sensation, Group 3 Magic Maiden, and the Group 3 Ambrosoli, further enhancing its reputation as a premier night of the sport.

In 2010, the Golden Easter Egg prize money skyrocketed to $250,000 for the winner, making it the richest greyhound race in New South Wales at the time. This was further increased to $350,000 in 2024, reflecting the event’s continued growth in prestige and popularity, but has now been moved back to $300,000 due to budget cuts.

The Golden Easter Egg has a rich history, boasting past champions such as Brett Lee, Rapid Journey, and Tenthill Doll, whose victories are etched into the annals of greyhound racing. It continues to honour its legacy while showcasing the best talent in the sport each year.
