Additional Sunday Racing for Mt Gambier

The Mount Gambier Greyhound Racing Club has been given approval by the GRSA Board to run an additional three extra Sunday meetings over the next three months on a trial basis. 

Mount Gambier has been averaging over 140 nominations for their weekly race meetings since January this year. The extra Sunday meetings will aim to cater for lower class and maiden greyhounds as well as generally supporting the opportunity for trainers to gain a start which may otherwise have been denied to them under current scheduling.

 

The additional racing will be on –

Sunday 24th April 2016

Sunday 22nd May 2016

Sunday 19th June 2016

 

The club will continue to run their normal Friday meeting prior to these Sundays.

 

Racing on the Friday and Sunday of these weeks will provide that extra opportunity once a month for those greyhounds unable to gain a start.

 

These meetings will be graded under these conditions –

·         The Mount Gambier GRC will have their main meeting for that weekend graded first.

·         Those greyhounds who gain a start in one meeting will be considered at the end for the other meeting allowing for greater participation.

·         There will be an opportunity for greyhounds to “Beat The Grader” allowing for the chance to win two races for only one grade.

·         The Mount Gambier GRC will program additional Heat and Finals to accommodate this pool of greyhounds.
