Bottle-O Ballarat Cup Final (450m), to run at 9.27 pm.
Only one female greyhound has won the Ballarat Cup in the past decade –
Shared Equity in 2015 – but four of the eight contenders in this year’s final are of the fairer sex.
That includes the two fastest heat winners –
Shima Classic (24.76sec) and
Oriental Amber (24.89sec) – the former running just .07sec (just over one length) off the track record. The female contingent is rounded out by
Aston Gwen and
Fortuna Bale, the latter running third in the 2020 Ballarat Cup four months ago.
