Peter Mosman Classic history
The Peter Mosman Classic is one of four Group 1 sprint events held annually at Wentworth Park (the others being the Golden Easter Egg, the Paws of Thunder and the Vic Peters Classic), with the winner of the event pocketing $75,000 in 2016.
The race is the second oldest event on the NSW racing calendar, with the age restricted series first conducted back in 1952 at Harold Park, at which time it was known as the ‘Bi-Annual Classic’.
The race was renamed the Peter Mosman Classic in 1988 in honour of the Greyhound Breeders Owners and Trainers Association (GBOTA) Chairman who had passed away the previous year. Mosman was one of the instrumental voices in the negotiations for the NSW GBOTA to commence racing at Wentworth Park, with the inaugural meeting held in September 1987, just two weeks after his death. Fittingly, the first time the race was named in his honour, was also the first time it was run and won at the Glebe circuit.
The race has been won by some of the finest sprinters the sport has seen, with names such as Brother Fox (1985), Elite State (2003), Surf Lorian (2004), Xylia Allen (2013) and Fernando Bale (2015) amongst the winners, many of the winners going on to become influential in the breeding barn following their careers on the track.
Recent years of the Group 1 Peter Mosman Classic
-
Sent to the traps as a $5.50 chance after a brilliant 29.66 semi-final victory the week prior, Mister Twister was swiftly away from box five and raced straight to the front with a slick 5.47 first sectional.
Hot on his heels down the back was race-favourite Up Hill Jill (box six) for David Geall, but swinging for home Mister Twister slipped into top gear, racing clear in the run to the line to score by two and three quarter lengths in 29.71.
Up Hill Jill lost no admirers when finishing second, the third time she has finished runner up at group 1 level, whilst Chasin’ Crackers (box one) ran a cheeky race to finish third for Glenn Rounds.
