TO MBGRC REGISTERED TRAINER MEMBERS
The MBGRC Committee wish to advise the MBGRC Registered Trainer Members that you must book your trials otherwise you may be disappointed when the Murray Bridge Greyhound racing track staff refuse to trial your greyhounds. Being a dual track facility, the Murray Bridge track staff require prior notification advising names of trainers booked for trials, at what time and on which track.
There is still a few MBGRC Registered Trainers yet to pay this year’s (2023/2024) members renewal fee, trainers who are not members of the MBGRC are required to pay $10 for each trial.
Sent on behalf of the MBGRC Committee
DUAL LURE TO BE TRIALLED AT ANGLE PARK ON TUESDAY NIGHTS
As advised in last months Kennel Capers, a dual lure will be trialled at Angle Park on Tuesday nights until sufficient trialling has taken place to determine the positives and negatives of the dual lure at our venues.
To manage this process trainers will need to book trials as normal. GRSA will allocate timeslots 7.15pm to 7.40pm and 7.40pm to 8.05pm each Tuesday meaning we will be trialling up to 20 trials each Tuesday night. Having two blocks of time this will assist trial staff manage the changing of the lure etc.
When booking online please book as normal in these slots and it will be assumed that you want to trial on the dual lure. If a trainer does not want to trial on the dual lure then please book in different time slots.
When ringing up to book a trial please advise staff if you want to book a dual lure trial, bearing in mind there is only 20 trials and once gone there will not be anymore until the following week.
• Bookings for trials open for next Tuesday at 11.30am on Monday
