The Queensland Winter Carnival will this year include 14 listed races as well as $1.3m in total prizemoney. Group racing will commence on June 10, with the Group 3 TAB Flying Amy Classic – Queensland’s richest event for age-restricted greyhounds – offering Group 1 prizemoney of $113,000 – almost double that of 2019 ($60,000).

Events such as the $27,500 Listed TAB Dashing Corsair, the Group 3 Super Stayers Invitational and the Group 1 TAB Queensland Cup is likely to attract participants from all around Australia.

Queensland will see an increase in interstate competitors and QRIC stewards and race-day officials are anticipating a successful carnival.

As many greyhounds will be entering Queensland from other states, the QRIC Stewards remind participants to ensure they are familiar with GA rule 105, throughout the Winter Carnival which essentially ensures that the location of all greyhounds is notified to the QRIC Stewards.

If greyhounds are being domiciled in Queensland at any point during the carnival, the Stewards must be advised of the registered kennel address, which licensed trainer oversees them and how long they will be at that location. Please notify the Stewards of these details at greyhoundstewards@qric.qld.gov.au
