Brilliant West Australian sprinter Miss Envy joined some rare company after her outstanding performance to win the time-honoured Sandown Laurels on Thursday night. First run in 1964 the race has been the yard stick for bitches as over the years many of the finalists have gone to curve out brilliant careers and also make a significant mark in the breeding barn. Miss Envy became only the third bitch in history to win the Laurels and the National Sprint Championship. She joined Hall of Famers Winifred Bale after she won the Laurels in July 1982 and the National Sprint at Harold Park in 1983. The other superstar was fellow West Australian voted last weekend as the best WA Sprinter of the last 50 years the mighty Sandi’s Me Mum. She won the Laurels in July 1989 and the Sprint Championship on home soil at Cannington the same year returning to Sandown in 1990 to win the Sprint title for a second time.
