Saltbush Sal colours Generated livery card for Saltbush Sal — purple and yellow chequer with a yellow cap, over a fawn coat swatch.

A runner on this circuit carries colours rather than a photograph. There is nothing to photograph: the livery is drawn from the same values the simulator renders, so the card above and the screen agree.

The rating is not a handicapper's mark — this circuit has no handicapper. It is the runner's mean published weighting: the average block of numbers, out of 1,000, that GP-Draw 4.2 has given it across the cards it appears on. Divide by ten for the mean true win percentage.

The record reads starts–wins–seconds–thirds and the form string runs oldest to newest, so the last figure is the most recent finishing position. Figures are as at 25 October 2026 on the circuit clock and move only when a card this runner is declared in is drawn. There is no prizemoney on this circuit: nothing is staked, so nothing is won, and the money column is printed as an em dash rather than filled with a number that does not exist.

Every card

Every card Saltbush Sal appears on, newest first, read off the cards themselves. Numbers is the block of 1,000 the weighting table gave this runner in that race; price is the same figure in the other notation. A card still to run has no finishing position, because nothing has been drawn yet.

Fields are fixed when a card is published, so there are no scratchings and no starting price: the price in this table is the one the card carried. The draw has brought this runner out first once on the published programme. How a virtual race is decided works through the arithmetic.

Prices on this page are the draw weighting in another notation. They are reference figures published with the card, not odds available anywhere, and not a betting recommendation.

The form line

the desk, on what the weightings have done

Saltbush Sal won the Class B Sprint over 520 metres off 65 numbers of the 1,000, from box four, at $13.44, in 29.85. Sixty-five numbers is 6.5 per cent of the draw and the sixth thickest block of eight in that field. Brindle Jack held 241 and finished last; the second and third blocks, 224 and 181, filled sixth and fifth.

The dividend came back $13.44 for the win and $5.15 for the place, with the forecast at $68.99. It is the only win dividend returned on a greyhound card so far, and that card carried the smallest book on the programme at 114.4.

In tonight's Brolga Dash it has box two and 158 numbers at $5.48, 2.4 times the block it won off. Fifty-four career starts is the most of the four greyhounds, for five wins and twelve seconds and the lowest strike rate of the four. Trained by Bronwyn Esch. Five years old, the only bitch of the four.
