Quick Shadow's win at Darwin's Winnellie Park on Sunday - his fifth in a month at the track - has made the litter whelped in March, 2020 by Aussie Infrared from Fascinate Mary the most prolific winning siblings in Australian greyhound racing.
Fascinate Mary's almost five years old offspring have now notched 195 victories.
Quick Shadow, owned and trained in the Northern Territory by Kathleen Reynolds, is by far the most prolific winner, with 119 starts for 63 wins, 20 seconds and nine thirds.
But realistically the stars of the litter have been Fascinate Mel, with 30 wins including 15 at Wentworth Park for $162,000 in stakes, followed by Fascinate Donald (24 wins, $75,000) and Fascinate Trump with over $92,000 from 22 successes.
Other members of this remarkable litter are Super Aussie (17 wins), Fascinate Aussie (16), Super Edition (13) and Fascinate Model, with 10 wins.
They were bred by Noelene Holloway, and their dam, Fascinate Mary, was a daughter of the now highly successful owner-trainer-breeder's first greyhound, Fascinate Marina.

A gift to Holloway from her sister, successful central coast owner-breeder Lorraine Atchison, Fascinate Marina won a dozen races but was far more successful in the breeding barn.
Her son Magic Spring, won 25 races for $200,000 and gave Holloway what is still easily her biggest success when he won the 2016 Group One National Derby.
Queen Marina, another of the Fascinate Marina offspring, sent Holloway interstate after winning the right to represent NSW in the 2014 National Distance Championship, held at Cannington, Perth.
Aussie Infrared, the sire of that record breaking litter, succumbed to cancer at the age of nearly 11 earlier this week.
Owner Michael Eberand said: "It was very emotional because Aussie Infrared was sitting next to us on the lounge at our home on Saturday night watching his son Tim Zoo win the group one Temlee at The Meadows.
"He was very sick and we knew his time was close but it was wonderful to have him with us watching another of his progeny win a big race.
"I bred Aussie Infrared by mating my family's bitch Ebby Miss with Bella Infrared and early in his racing career sent him to Victorian trainer Ros Hume and her partner Geoff Collins to be prepared for the Launching Pad at Sandown.
"Geoff, who had imported the frozen semen of Bella Infrared, got back to me and said while Aussie Infrared was not ready for a race like the Launching Pad he had talent and he later broke the Warrnambool track record as well as winning the 2017 Maitland Gold Cup."
"He retired after winning 22 of 37 races including nine in succession late in his career, and was sensational at stud.
"Best known of his NSW progeny would be Zipping Kyrgios, but he also sired Elite Machine, winner of a Brisbane and Perth Cup, Melbourne Cup winner Aussie Rocks and a couple of Australian Cup winners.
"Aussie Infrared is now buried alongside his mother Ebby Miss in the backyard of our Sydney suburban home.''
