277m MASTERS POLICY FOR MT GAMBIER – EFFECT TOD
With the Mt Gambier GRC conducting one 277m Grade 5 Masters race each meeting where possible, the Grading Department have determined conditions for these races using some of the conditions of normal Grade 5 Masters events however factoring in the restricted nature of the 277m distance.
There will be a Time Standard applied based on the published table being 16.64. If a dog wins and runs faster than 16.64, it can still remain eligible for the next week, if the dog then wins and runs faster than 16.64 again it will be ineligible for the race and distance the following week. The dog will either run over another distance or will miss that week’s race. The following week it will then be eligible. If there is no 277m Masters race the greyhound has to miss the next time that race is conducted. This only refers to the greyhounds that win.
