The most notable race took place on 13 February 1960 at Harold Park Paceway, Sydney, when the "mighty atom" Caduceus from New Zealand defeated Australia's Apmat in the final of the Inter Dominion before a world record crowd of 50,346.
The race was viewed by a large number of spectators who had positioned themselves at every available location, including the inside greyhound circuit, which is now the centre-course car park, where the crowd was particularly dense.
The thunderous applause that greeted Caduceus was interrupted by the announcement of a protest lodged by Bert Alley, contesting the horse's victory.
