Faith in ‘Rambo’
Around 13 years ago, Mark and Lisa Delbridge purchased the 40-acre property of a loyal greyhound client, Gary Black, under a mutual arrangement. And they say it’s now time to repay the faith with Zipping Rambo in the Group 1 RSN Sandown Cup final (715m) at Sandown Park on Thursday night. “Gary’s been in the sport for at least 30 years… He’s not in it for the money, he’s in it for the enjoyment,” Delbridge said. “It would be nice to win it for him.

No option but the Cup
A lack of local options could prove a blessing on Thursday night when Maggie Moo Moo takes her place in the $250,000 RSN Sandown Cup.
Interstaters lead Sandown Cup charge
Australia’s – and indeed the world’s – premier distance greyhound race, the $250,000 Group 1 RSN Sandown Cup (715m) has been dominated by Victorian-trained stayers over the last decade, with Tasmanian star Chinatown Lad in 2008, the last interstater to reign supreme.
