Industry updates / Saturday's Wentworth Park meeting abandoned

After consultation between Greyhound Racing NSW (GRNSW) and the Greyhound Welfare & Integrity Commission (GWIC) a decision has been made to abandon the race meeting scheduled for Wentworth Park tomorrow night, June 26.

With the current COVID-19 situation in the City of Sydney area, and following the recommendations and restrictions put in place by the NSW Government on Friday morning, both GRSNW and GWIC have agreed that the appropriate measures to protect all participants, track and club staff, was to call off the race meeting.

Both GRNSW and GWIC believe this is the sensible and responsible action to take considering the current circumstances in the Sydney area.

Unfortunately due to the scheduling of the Group 1 Vic Peters and Group 1 Peter Mosman heats on Saturday July 3, the final of the GRNSW Country Challenge is unable to be moved back a week. As such, GRNSW has decided that the total prizemoney for the final will be divided between the finalists.

Wednesday night’s race meeting scheduled for Wentworth Park has been transferred to Bulli, which will carry Wentworth Park provincial prizemoney.

We will continue to update participants of any further news or restrictions to be put in place, through our website and social media platforms.
