Wow She's Fast

Bitch · Australia · Prize money: $2,487,870

Wow She's Fast, trained by Jackie Greenough at Pearcedale, produced one of the most explosive debuts the sport has seen: she won at Sandown by more than 20 lengths in 29.06 — the fastest maiden victory ever recorded at the track. Six months later she became just the tenth greyhound in history to surpass $1 million in prize money when she stormed to victory in the 2022 Group 1 Sapphire Crown at Sandown, clocking 28.82 — at the time the second-fastest run in the venue's history behind only Aston Rupee's 28.79 track record.

A genuine star of the modern prize money era, she continued collecting major features and ultimately retired as the highest stakes earner in Australian greyhound history with $2,487,870, a benchmark that still leads the all-time list ahead of champions such as Explicit.

Legacy

Wow She's Fast represents the modern feature-race era better than any greyhound: her earnings record of $2,487,870 was built on peaking for the richest races on the calendar rather than long campaigns. For punters she remains a reference point whenever a new sprinting bitch emerges at Sandown — her debut and Sapphire Crown times are still the standards against which the next generation is measured.
