The Festival of Fire series is in its second year for SA trained greyhounds that must have been in SA as of midnight 1st November 2022 to be eligible with all races non penalty.

The GRSA Board resolved that the top-up amounts for this series will sit outside the Wagering Activity Payments (WAP) model.  This means that the majority of the stakemoney for the series will be additional to the guaranteed return that has already been committed to industry through the WAP model.

 

GRSA TO RECOGNISE RACE CALLER JIM JACQUES ON TONIGHTS PROGRAM

Race 7 tonight at Angle Park has been named the “Happy Retirement Jim Jacques Mixed Stake” after the highly regarded broadcaster announced his retirement recently. Jimmy and his wife will be oncourse as guests of GRSA with Jim calling numerous greyhound races over his long and distinguished race calling career and has always been a friendly face at any of our meetings.

We do wish him the best in retirement, and we are sure many participants can remember fondly Jimmy calling their greyhound home first past the post in his characteristic style.

 

GRSA & GAP OFFICE TO CLOSE AT 3PM TOMORROW (FRIDAY DECEMBER 23)

Please be advised that the GRSA Administration and GAP Office’s will close at 3pm tomorrow (Friday, 23rd December)

ICG ACTION ITEMS FROM LAST MEETING EFFECTIVE 1ST JANUARY 2023

From the last ICG meeting below are action items that take effect from 1st January 2023 –

  • The Group agreed for the reintroduction of the naming fee of $55 +GST for SA namings. 
  • The Group agreed to remove SA Bred Scheme payment of $27.50 from Part B of the Breeders Support Program (which generally is not required anyway).

 

PRIZEMONEY INCREASE FROM 1ST JANUARY 2023

Greyhound racing in South Australia will benefit from a return to pre-COVID prizemoney levels following an overall stake money increase of 7.5%, equally distributed across all TAB grades and races. Effective from 1 January 2023, the increase will total $750,000 over a twelve-month period, rebuilding a foundation of base level prizemoney across the industry.

While the increase in base stake money levels will likely result in a reduction in monthly Wagering Activity Payments (WAP), it will provide more certainty to participants surrounding industry returns.

The prizemoney increase will be felt across all grades of greyhound racing in South Australia and will extend from Angle Park to regional tracks at Mount Gambier, Gawler and Murray Bridge. Races held at Murray Bridge’s straight track will enjoy an additional funding boost, taking the total prizemoney increase at the track to 20%.
