Big retirement news
Big Energy often chased against the very best at The Meadows
Big Energy has retired after an amazing racing career.
He won 23 of his 56 starts and amassed almost $700,000 in prize money.
He farewells us as the only greyhound to have broken 29-seconds five* times at Sandown Park. He owns five of the top 11 times at the track since January 2023 and three of the top four – only Flying Zulu has gone faster (28.838) in that period. He also broke the 30 second mark at The Meadows (29.60).
He’s the only greyhound to have won two Shootouts. He was a dual finalist of the Melbourne Cup and The Phoenix. He was also a finalist of the Topgun, Temlee, Adelaide Cup, Sandgroper, Cranbourne Cup, McKenna Memorial, Ambrosoli and Speed Star.
Benny, as Big Energy is affectionately known as, will transition to stud duties.
