All eyes on the 2026 Ladbrokes Million Dollar Chase this Friday 15th of October at Wentworth Park, the last ever race at the venue.

To celebrate, let's take a trip down memory lane, celebrating the champions, moments and the memories that have made the Million Dollar Chase what it is today.

2018 - Mystic Riot

Wentworth Park, 2018. The moment it all began. The very first Million Dollar Chase final. The crowd packed into Wentworth Park, the noise building as Mystic Riot hit the front on the turn. Then came the roar. Mystic Riot powered down the straight to win the inaugural Million Dollar Chase in 29.67 seconds. And as his champion crossed the line, trainer Peter Lagogiane danced down the track in celebration. The first champion. The first Million Dollar moment. A moment that helped create the legacy of the Million Dollar Chase.

2019 - Good Odds Harada

50 Years. One Incredible Journey. From picking up a lead and collar as a kid in Granville, to standing on the biggest stage in greyhound racing with Good Odds Harada, Frank’s journey has been one of a lifetime. There have been incredible highs, difficult moments and countless memories along the way. Good Odds Harada reached the top with a blistering 29.34 seconds, before going on to enjoy life at stud, where he’s now being spoiled rotten, just like every good boy should be. A lifetime in greyhound racing. A champion on the track.

2020 - Handsome Prince

Two years after making history with Mystic Riot, Peter Lagogiane did it all over again. This time, it was Handsome Prince, a $21 outsider drawn in Box 7, who stormed to the lead and held on to deliver Peter his second Million Dollar Chase victory at Wentworth Park. He stopped the clock in 29.72 seconds. As the emotion of the moment took over, Peter summed it up perfectly: “To win it once was a fairy tale and now to win it a second time … I don’t know how to even begin to explain it.” Two Million Dollar Chase finals. Two champions. Two unforgettable moments for Peter Lagogiane.

2022 - McInerney

A history-making win that meant far more than the result. In 2022, McInerney delivered a memorable Million Dollar Chase victory at Wentworth Park, becoming the first Victorian-trained greyhound to win the event. For owner and breeder Noel Mugavin and the team behind McInerney, it was an especially meaningful moment during a deeply personal time for the family. On the track, McInerney produced a finish worthy of the occasion, holding on in a thrilling final to create his own piece of Wentworth Park history. It’s moments like these that have made the Million Dollar Chase about more than racing alone, the dogs, the people behind them, and the stories that stay with us long after the finish.

2023 - Jay is Jay

Sometimes, a win carries generations with it. Jay Is Jay was named in honour of Selena Zammit’s late father, Jeff Jones - a man whose life was deeply connected to greyhound racing. His dam, Kealoah, was the final greyhound Jeff ever trained. Years later, her son would arrive at Wentworth Park and create a moment the family would never forget. In 2023, Jay Is Jay raced his way to victory in the Million Dollar Chase, becoming the first Queensland greyhound to win the event. For Selena, husband Michael and their family, it was more than a breakthrough for Queensland. It was a family legacy coming full circle. These are the stories that have made Wentworth Park so much more than a racetrack - generations of families, unforgettable greyhounds and moments that live on long after the finish.

2024 - Blue Kermaro

Everyone else had given up on him. Blue Kermaro was not a star in his first two starts when trainer Josh Formosa found him for sale online. Josh and his friend Ben Peart bought him off the internet for only $10,000 after the dog had raced twice in NSW. He was a bargain and eight months later, at Wentworth Park, he won the 2024 Million Dollar Chase. "I don't even care about the money, to be honest," Josh said, "I just love winning these big races."

2025 - Power And Glory

Nearly 50 years without racing a greyhound. Then one very special dog changed everything. In 2025, at 79, Jeff Eastburn found himself back in the sport with Power And Glory - the first greyhound he had raced in almost half a century, and a journey shared with one of his oldest friends. What followed was a remarkable chapter in Wentworth Park history; Golden Easter Egg winner, Million Dollar Chase champion, and a new Million Dollar Chase race record - 29.15. On one unforgettable night at Wentworth Park, Power And Glory swept around the field and powered away to win by seven lengths. For Jeff, it was more than a record. It was the kind of journey you wait a lifetime for and the kind of moment Wentworth Park has given people for generations.
