The unique qualifying process to contest the final for New Zealand's oldest racing trophy continues at Hatrick this evening.
The Waterloo Cup was first contested in 1878 as a coursing event, and the time-honoured feature has contributed a rich history since.
Four tracks are used to determine which greyhounds will assemble at the Manukau Stadium on Sunday week to contest the $30,000 final at Group 1 level over 527m.
The Cambridge (457m) and Addington (520m) Raceways hosted Waterloo Cup heats yesterday, while the final heat will be decided at Manukau (527m) on Sunday. A top two heat finish is required to advance through to the final.
It comes as no surprise to see Lisa Cole=trained greyhounds dominating this evening's 520m heat (race 9).
