TUESDAY NIGHT MEETINGS ON THE CALENDAR
Greyhound Racing South Australia (GRSA) announced the introduction of Tuesday night meetings at Angle Park, which started a few weeks ago. The Tuesday night meetings are designed to meet demand, providing more racing opportunities for lower class greyhounds within SA.
The meetings will be time graded, with 10 races of six dog fields. The meetings will operate in tandem with Saturday morning race meetings which will target greyhounds of the same class with the racing distance at both race meetings restricted to 342m. Excess nominations are currently received for Saturday morning meetings. The Tuesday meetings will provide a further outlet for greyhounds that are nominated for the Saturday mornings and are not provided with a starting opportunity. Greyhounds falling into this category will be granted preference rights if nominated for the subsequent Tuesday night meeting.
With Saturday morning and Tuesday night meetings being restricted to 342m nominations, opportunities for 530m time graded greyhounds will be programmed for other Angle Park dates. Trainers are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the details for the Tuesday night meetings, changes to the Saturday morning meetings and updated trialling times for Angle Park.
ANGLE PARK TO TRIAL ON WEDNESDAY NIGHTS
Please be advised that with Angle Park to race on Tuesday night from this Tuesday the trials will shift to Wednesday night. The starting times remain the same at 6pm with the booking process and times the same as normal. Please be mindful that Bingo utilise most of the Chasers Restaurant on this night so please be aware of this while oncourse.
