History of the Group 1 Temlee

The Temlee is named after one of the best greyhounds the sport has seen who went on to become a champion sire, with his presence still felt in many top class bloodlines to this day.

Whelped in March 1972, the brindle superstar was by Tivoli Chief out of Temora Lee and faced the starter on 31 occasions, winning several big races including the 1974 National Sprint Championship, the Maturity Classic, the Olympic Park Sprint Championship, the Autumn Trophy and the Lord Mayor’s Trophy.

All of his major race wins were at the now defunct Olympic Park, which was run by the Melbourne Greyhound Racing Association. With the MGRA now calling The Meadows home, it is fitting the race named in honour of Temlee is run at the Melbourne track.

The first edition of the Temlee was in 2003 when it was taken out by Excite Ability. Back then the sprint event was run as a group 3, with the son of Bearability and ReRun picking up $30,000 when defeating Knockabout Wok and Lindale Blue in 30.14.

The race was elevated to group 2 status in 2006 which it only remained at for a year, with the 2007 Temlee a group 1 feature won by Slater.

Since 2007, when it offered a $50,000 winner’s purse, the race has continued to grow, with the race now worth a massive $100,000 to the winner, making it one of the most lucrative events on the calendar.

Naturally, being an invitation-only race, the Temlee has been won by some outstanding greyhounds, including Paua To Burn (2005), El Galo (2009) High Earner (2011) and My Bro Fabio (2015).
