Group 1 glory for Ethanol Water in Bold Trease Final
Ethanol Water showcased her staying brilliance to claim the Group 1 Bold Trease (715m) at Sandown Park on Saturday night, delivering a stunning performance for trainer Thomas Dailly and his team.

As the field approached the final turn, Ethanol Water powered past the leader, asserting her dominance and leaving her rivals unable to respond with the leading greyhound bookmakers paying $5 for the Group 1 victory.
Black Silencer claimed second, while early leader Canya All Class finished third.
