Sale Cup for greyhounds 2023

THE Sale Cup is a group 1 greyhound race which is run on Boxing Day at Sale as part of the Gippsland Carnival every year.

It is held over the gruelling 650m distance and is one of only two group 1 races held on a provincial greyhound track across Australia, the other being the Megastar which is held at Dapto.

The most recent edition of the Group 1 Sale Cup was taken out by WA superstar Quick Jagger which upstaged champion Fanta Bale.

Betting on the Group 1 Sale Cup

Like any group 1 race, only the best contest the Sale Cup series. The final is often rich in quality, which results in enormous betting interest on the final.

Because of the hype surrounding the event, all of our recommended online bookmakers offer fixed odds prices for each runner in the final – often as soon as the heats have been run and the box draw has been decided.

With several bookies offering odds, punters are able to shop around to ensure they get the best price about their chosen runner – whilst most bookies also offer free bet bonuses to give your wager some extra punch.

Additionally, some of our online bookies, such as Bet365 and Sportsbet, offer all-in markets for the winner of the final prior to the heats being run.

This is another win for punters, often offering inflated odds about many of the series leading chances if you are skilful enough to spot the winner prior to the commencement of the series.

There are currently no odds available for the 2017 edition of the race, but be sure to check this page closer to the series to discover the best prices on the market.

Group 1 Sale Cup – history

The Sale Cup was inaugurated in 1968, however records regarding the results of the race were not kept until 1970 when it was won by Radiant Queen.

In the early days, the Sale Cup, like most provincial Victorian Cups, was run over the sprint trip – with the honour roll boasting some champion names such as Chariot Supreme (1984), Top Shroud (1986), Malawi’s Prince (1991) and Wylie Boy, the race’s only dual winner who triumphed in 1995 and 1996 respectively.

In 2001, the Sale Club made a bold and risqué move to move the distance of the Cup to the 630m trip. The gamble paid off, with front running stayer Bentley Babe producing a sensational effort to collect the $20,000 winner’s cheque.

Two years later, the Sale track underwent a major track re-structure, with the official re-opening on April 10 revealing three new racing distances over 440m, 520m and 650m.

Additionally, the track was also widened to seven metres to allow for safer racing, whilst both the back straight and home straight were realigned under the guidance of track designer Brian Barrington.

The Cup remained over the middle distance journey after the re-development and in 2010 it was awarded group 1 status. In that year it was taken out by Robert Britton’s Symmetry, with the $50,000 winner’s cheque making it the richest country cup in the nation.

Since that time, the prize money on offer has once again been bumped up, now offering $75,000 to the winner and maintaining its group 1 status and reputation as one of the most highly sought after titles on the group racing calendar.

In 2021 and 2022 Mark Delbridge’s Jarrick Bale became just the second dog to win successive Sale Cups, after Wylie Boy did it in 1995 and 1996.
