Zoom Top Betting

The Zoom Top is an invitation-only race that is run and won each year at The Meadows over 730m.

It is one of only two invitation-only staying events, with runners chosen by a panel based on their recent performances rather than through qualifying heats.

The most recent edition of the Zoom Top was won by superstar stayer Lanfranco for Brooke Ennis in 2025.

History of the Group 1 Zoom Top

Former champion Zoom Top. PIC: Greyhound Data

The Zoom Top is named in honour of one of the greatest stayers in greyhound racing history. Zoom Top, a fawn bitch whelped in 1966 by Black Top out of Busy Beaver, redefined versatility and endurance in the sport. Over her extraordinary career, she competed in 136 races, achieving 68 wins and 39 minor placings. Zoom Top’s brilliance shone across all major distances, setting an incredible 15 track records.

Her illustrious victories included back-to-back wins in the 1968 and 1969 Wentworth Park Gold Cup and Association Cup, as well as triumphs in the 1968 Richmond Oaks, Dapto Silver Collar, and Sydney Cup, alongside the 1969 NSW St Leger, now known as the Group 1 Paws of Thunder. Retiring in 1970, Zoom Top remains a benchmark of greatness, celebrated for her unparalleled versatility and longevity.

In 2003, The Meadows introduced the Group 1 Zoom Top as a tribute to this iconic stayer. The inaugural running was won by Tears of Jupiter, and since then, the race has become a highlight of the Australian Cup Carnival, held annually at The Meadows in February. The event is an invitational contest over 730m, featuring the nation’s top in-form stayers.

Over the years, the Zoom Top has crowned champions such as Rocky (2005), Miss Grub (2007), Miata (2013), Fanta Bale (2018), Tornado Tears (2019), and Stagger Out Lee (2023). These winners reflect the prestige of the event and the exceptional calibre of greyhounds it attracts.

Zoom Top’s legacy transcends time, remaining a gold standard by which the greatness of other greyhounds is measured. Her remarkable consistency and dominance throughout her lengthy career continue to inspire the sport, ensuring her name is forever etched in greyhound racing history.
