About the Peter Mosman Classic

The Peter Mosman Classic, named in honour of one of New South Wales racing's great administrators, is the feature sprint of Sydney's autumn and one of the oldest continuously run features in Australian greyhound racing. Staged at Wentworth Park over 520 metres in March, it sits at the heart of the Harbour City's night-racing calendar and has been won by many of the sport's genuine legends. A Peter Mosman on the honour roll places a sprinter in rare company, and the race's slot on the calendar makes it the traditional final major hit-out before the Victorian autumn features.

How to punt the Peter Mosman Classic

Wentworth Park's 520 metres is one of the great tests of Australian sprinting: the tight first turn rewards early speed drawn inside the middle boxes, while genuine strength is needed to hold on up the long home straight. In Peter Mosman fields — usually the best sprinters from NSW, Victoria and Queensland — market favourites are often over-bet on reputation, and the race has a long history of bolters at double-figure odds winning when the map favours them. Study the box draw obsessively here: a high-class dog drawn wide against two inside speed dogs is a lay, while a lesser-light drawn Box 1 or 2 with even moderate early pace is a bet. Exotic dividends on Peter Mosman night are among the richest of the Sydney calendar.
