GRADING FOR NEWLY REDEVELOPED ANGLE PARK CONFIRM
The Grading Review Panel has reviewed the Grade 6 guidelines and to fall in line with other grades on the “New” Angle Park track the Grade 6 rule will be implemented as if greyhounds had not won at the venue like we have done for Murray Bridge and Gawler recently. This will be implemented from the Angle Park meeting graded tomorrow for Thursday 26th August.
- Distance ranges will be 342m, 530m, 595m and 730m. There will be no 342m conducted at Angle Park on Thursday City A meetings
- Angle Park will be considered a “NEW” track for the Grade 6 policy. For example if a greyhound has won a City A grade 6 at the old Angle Park over 515m it will still be eligible to win a City A grade 6 over 530m if still eligible for grade 6 events. If a greyhound has won one grade 6 over 388m at the old Angle Park and has one more grade 6 left it can win a grade 6 over 342m, 530m, 595m or 730m. Non SA bred greyhounds can still only win 4 grade 6 events and SA Bred can still only win 12 lifetime events before reverting to grade 5 everywhere.
- When a greyhound wins a Grade 5 or above over 530m on the new Angle Park and has grade 6 events left it will not be eligible for any more Grade 6 events (this condition is reintroduced)
- Trainers will see that Ozchase has automatically given greyhounds a grade at the new distances to assist the grading of meetings allowing trainers to nominate into events. This was done as a bulk download with the Grader required to review each grade of each greyhound based on above.
