I saw this too! It always amazes me how the graders do such a good job, the number of 2 way dead heats at the dogs is unbelievable. How can 6 dogs run for 380m+ and finish at exactly the same time? Which makes a 3 way tie even more remarkable, still, 30,000,000/1 is bigger than I would have expected.

I think sky sports claimed this was a 30 million to 1 odds of this event happening.

One of the dogs appears to have a foot ahead of their nose but I guess only the noses count.

That's an interesting coincidence although #5 got its paw on the line first, the rule for racing is that it's the placement of the head that counts - with the greyhounds, its the nose that will be counted. What a strange 3 way tie!

Ok so it has to be the Greyhounds head to go into the finish line?? Cause Numbers 5's leg is over the line but I guess that doesn't count!
