A Waterloo Cup for the ages

One of the most prestigious pieces of silverware in Victoria’s greyhound racing history – the 1923 Waterloo Cup – has been generously donated to Greyhound Racing Victoria by Ross Dickie.

The 1923 Waterloo Cup was held at Geelong and won by Unie (Achieved – Una Verse), a brindle and white greyhound trained by Ross’ grandfather, the late Charles Dickie, of Bacchus Marsh.
