Greyhound Racing Victoria Rules
The greyhound racing industry in Victoria is governed by Local and National Rules of Racing.
Once they have been adopted by a resolution of the GRV Board, the National Rules, known as Greyhounds Australasia Rules (GARs), form part of the Local Rules. In the event of any conflict between any provisions of the Local Rules and the GARs, or other rules such as the Plumpton Coursing Rules, the Local Rules prevail.
