Brett Lee

Dog · Australia · Career: Champion sprinter of the early 2000s; multiple Group 1 winner · Prize money: One of the highest earners of his era

Brett Lee raced through the early years of the new millennium and quickly established himself as the fastest greyhound in Australia. A brilliant beginner with devastating early speed, he won the sport's biggest sprints and was for a period almost unbeatable at his pet trips. He was voted Australian Greyhound of the Year and entered the sport's hall of fame conversation while still racing.

His legacy, however, extends far beyond his racecourse record. As a sire, Brett Lee became one of the most influential stallions in Australian greyhound history, stamping his progeny with his trademark early speed. Generations of Australian sprinters — including subsequent champions and Group 1 winners — carry Brett Lee blood, and his name remains one of the most sought-after nicks in Australian breeding pedigrees two decades on.
