Angle Park Start Up Plan - Trialling and Racing

07/08/2021
Racing News

Greyhound Racing SA (GRSA) provides the following return to racing at Angle Park schedule, that will see our first race meeting on the new track conducted on Thursday night 26th August. The schedule below incorporates an expanded trialling schedule, which hopefully provides all participants with sufficient opportunities to trial their greyhounds in a lead up to racing.

 

GRSA wishes to emphasise that the Angle Park venue still has a number of works elements in progress (separate to the race track), which will result in restricted access to different parts of the complex. GRSA asks for a degree of understanding from our participants as we look to have all remaining elements completed for the meeting on Thursday 26th August.  

 

As such, the Kennel House will NOT be available for access for the trial sessions on Wednesday 11th, Friday 13th and Saturday 14th August , due to continued maintenance work in that area, with the necessary temporary fencing in place to restrict access. GRSA advises trainers will need to access the race track via the Trainer Car Park ramp.

 

Angle Park trial sessions are listed below, with the Murray Bridge and Gawler sessions remaining as per the current schedule unless advised otherwise-

 

  • FIRST APK TRIAL SESSION - Wednesday 11th August – Trials (Night) @ 6pm start FINISH ON LURE ONLY (there will be no trials at Gawler on this night – all STAT trials for Gawler will be done on the Thursday morning)

 

  • APK TRIAL SESSION - Friday 13th August – Trials (Morning) @ 8am start FINISH ON LURE ONLY

(First two trial sessions FINISH ON LURE ONLY to allow finishing touches to Catching Pen)

  • Apk Monday 29th August – RACE MEETING (NIGHT)
  • Apk Tuesday 30th  August – Trials (Night) @ 6pm
  • Apk Thursday 1st September – RACE MEETING (NIGHT)

 

When Angle Park returns to racing on Thursday 26th August the trial schedule will revert to  –

  • Angle Park Tuesday night and Saturday/Sunday morning (depending on racing)
  • Gawler Monday morning and Friday morning (STAT)
  • Murray Bridge Wednesday night one turn, Monday morning on both tracks and Thursday on straight track. These sessions will be monitored depending on their support. STAT will be done on Wednesday nights for the one turn while the STAT for the Straight track will be done at race meetings where possible (less than 12 races). As we move towards daylight saving in October consideration will be to have STAT for the Straight track available on Wednesday nights.

 

No reference has been made to Mt Gambier on this schedule as this does not affect their racing or trialling
