The Waterloo Cup is the country’s oldest greyhound racing event and it enters its final stage this Sunday at Longwood.

It kicked off last Sunday in ideal weather conditions. The series of events is led by the 151st running of the Waterloo Cup as well as the Waterloo Purse and Waterloo Plate.

"It was a super day. There were some flying machines, Bernardo Beast was one of them. He's been setting coursing tracks alight all season, he's had some misdemeanours on the circle but he's relished coursing. That's the strength of it, it gives all dogs a chance," said Peter Craig, President of the National Coursing Association of Victoria.

When scanning through fields it was impossible not to notice Garry Stun On, who has been a regular on the big stage at The Meadows and Sandown Park for two years.

"Blue Rise defeated Garry Stun On in the first round. But we know coursing is different and a result like that is an example of it. Garry won his next course in the first round of the Purse."

Craig was delighted with the support of coursing throughout this season through the weight of nominations at each event.

"It's been good to see the fields hold up across the whole season, so many dogs coursing have had misdemeanours on the circle tracks, so coursing has been more important than ever."

The action kicks off from 9.30am on Sunday at Longwood – click here for fields. Keep track of the latest via NCAV's Facebook page.
