Ladies Bracelet betting

Wentworth Park

The Group 3 Ladies Bracelet is run as a celebration of women in racing, with the final held in the lead up to Mother’s Day each year at Wentworth Park.

The event is open to the best 32 female greyhounds, plus reserves, with winning connections pocketing the $25,000 first prize as well as a ladies bracelet which is donated by the race sponsor, Evans & Son Jewellers. In recent years, a second bracelet is also given away as a Lucky Gate prize on final night to one special woman on track.

Group 3 Ladies Bracelet history

The Ladies Bracelet was first run by the NSW GBOTA at Harold Park over 457m in 1971 when it was won by Shapely Escort.

The first interstate raider to win the feature was Victorian bitch Mandarin Girl in 1976, with the prize staying in the home state for 19 years following her win until another Mexican, Flash Davina, tasted success in 1996.

The Ladies Bracelet moved to Wentworth Park in 1988, with Aussie Value winning the race in 30.23 on the old grass track. The race has remained at the Harbour City circuit since that time, with the first running on loam won by Amy’s Doll in 1993.

Since its inception the race has been won by some of the finest female sprinters the sport has seen, with names just as Winifred Bale, Jessica Casey, Bralyn Maisie, Miss Beeslee, Cindeen Shelby, Tonneli Bale and Dyna Willow appearing on the honour roll.

The only dual winner of the race is former top sprinter Gold Spring which won the race in 1979 and 1980.

Recent years of the Ladies Bracelet

  • The market had the top three elects in the 2018 Ladies Bracelet separated by just one point and that’s the way they ran as Miss Splendamrio overcame favourite Up Hill Jill and Ella Enchanted.

    Spearing out from box four Miss Splendmario jumped out to an early lead and was never headed, streaking away to win by just under four lengths to win a fourth-straight race and the sixth in seven starts.
