Welcome to the September edition of Greyhound Monthly Victoria and the first day of spring. Firstly, I’d like to congratulate all the winners at the 2020 Victorian Greyhound Awards. I’m sorry none of us could all be there together in person but it was great to join…
Welcome to the August issue of Greyhound Monthly Victoria. This time of the year is usually one of the quieter periods for our sport but much has been happening lately
As the 2019-20 financial year ends, I would like to take this opportunity to update you all on how our sport has been travelling over the past 12 months.
It has been another busy month on the track with highlights including the Warrnambool Cup and the Sandown May Carnival along with a full calendar of regular race meetings.
GRV is committed to providing support to enable participants to achieve positive, effective and productive outcomes.
I am very pleased to report that greyhound racing continues to perform strongly in Victoria and that we have been able to maintain, and even add to, our regular racing calendar, which is indeed a privilege for which we should all be collectively grateful.
Australian greyhound racing has this year experienced one of the most contagious strains of canine gastroenteritis in memory.
GRV’s paramount responsibility is the health, safety and welfare of all Victorian participants and their greyhounds and of our clubs and our staff. However, we also recognise that greyhound racing provides jobs, income and markets for thousands of people and many businesses across the State.
There continues to be a number of new cases of gastroenteritis reported around mainland Australia including Victoria, however the majority of the initial Victorian cases are now returning back into the racing population.
