CEO Monthly Update December 2019
I’d like to congratulate Whiskey Riot and connections on a great win in the 2019 TAB Melbourne Cup. And I thank Sandown Park for their great work again in presenting one of the world’s greatest greyhound races.
Rehydration critical after exercise
Greyhounds generally aren’t great drinkers however rehydration is critical after exercise. It is important for inexperienced greyhound participants transporting greyhounds from the Ready 2 Race Sales to understand the importance of hydration and to come prepared with a generous amount of fresh, cool water and a drinking bowl.
