NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS SUMMARY
Last Saturday night at Wentworth Park the best greyhounds in the Nation did battle to be crowned National Champion.
The Sprint series was taken out by multiple Group 1 winning Victorian Fernando Bale who won another Group 1 race after he lead throughout to win in brilliant fashion. SA’s representative Alex’s Entity for Ben Rawlings suffered severe interference on the first turn and took a heavy tumble to the track. Thankfully after the race there was no report of injury to Ben’s up and coming sprinter.
Psychotic Gold for trainer Petar Jovanovic found herself matched against last years Distance winner Sweet It Is. The star Victorian again claimed the National title in track record time however the South Aussie was far from disgraced running a gutsy 5th after covering extra ground. Psychotic Gold is engaged tonight at Angle Park and looks to thriving on the competitive racing.
AGRA’s Neil Brown has compiled a comprehensive review of the National Finals which we have placed on the GRSA website.

GRAHAM SANDFORD FUNDRAISER
In March 2012 Greyhound Racing SA (GRSA) 33 year veteran employee Graham Sandford suffered a severe stroke to the left side of his brain. This resulted in damage to the right side of his body. Some of the effects of the stroke were aphasia and dyspraxia (speech problems).
In 2014 the South Australian government reduced speech therapy for brain injuries to a maximum of 12 weeks. In order to continue this progress GRSA has committed to throwing its support behind funding private therapy for Graham for another 12 months.
Prior to starting therapy Graham couldn't put two words together; however he is now making real progress. He has rediscovered his confidence and now makes conversation with people. He is more outgoing even to the point of ordering coffee for himself. Graham has an excellent relationship with his therapist and relishes her visits and the continued therapy. He even does his homework without a murmur.
Graham started work with GRSA in 1979 and was working as Deputy Steward until his stroke. He is aged 65 and he and his wife Debbie are looking forward to a healthy future enjoying time with their family and two grandchildren.
With an aim to raise $10,000 GRSA is auctioning off a collection of sporting memorabilia in support of Graham’s therapy. Caufield Cup silks and an Eddie Merckx signed Tour Down Under jersey are a couple of the items available. You can view the entire list and photos here. Items will be available for auction on eBay starting Monday 31 August 2015.
LOCAL RULE CHANGES - Effective 1st September 2015
Effect of disqualification, suspension, warning off or being declared a defaulter
LR89A(SA)
A person who is disqualified, warned off, suspended or declared to be a defaulter shall, during the period of the penalty, forfeit all Breeders Bonuses. In the event of joint or multiple persons the percentage of Breeder Bonus payable to the disqualified, warned off, suspended or defaulter will be forfeited.
CHANGE IN PAPERWORK FOR PRIZEMONEY
From 1st September 2015 the paperwork for directing prizemoney will change. In the past the paperwork refers to the owner directing where which account the prizemoney goes. GRSA has had no option but to direct all greyhounds owned by that person into their specific account. From 1st September the paperwork will refer to the greyhound so this will provide flexibility for each owner to have different conditions (if required) for each greyhound.
For example if an owner has 10 dogs with prizemoney all going into the same account under the same conditions then they only need to fill out one form naming all 10 greyhounds however if there are 10 different agreements for these greyhounds then they will need to complete 10 different forms for each dog.
As previously advised it is up to the owner of the greyhound to ensure prizemoney paperwork has been lodged prior to the greyhound racing to ensure payment is made correctly.
**All existing prizemoney accounts remain the same unless directed by the owners and updated account information is provided**
GOTBA DATE CHANGES NEXT MONTH
After a request from the GOTBA Coursing Club the Non TAB Virginia meeting has been moved from Sunday 20th September to Sunday 13th September 2015.
Date changes are listed below –
Delete: GOTBA Coursing 20th September 2015 (Non TAB) Day
