Greyhounds Triple Photo-Finish Stuns Punters
The photo above shows the moment 3 dogs finishing in a triple dead heat, beating odds of more than a million to one.
All three were declared joint winners when even the track's photo finish technology couldn't split them, meaning that bookies had to pay out to anyone who put a bet on one of the individual dogs as well as on a combination of more than one of them coming first in the race.
The £500 prize payout was shared equally between the three dog-owners.
