Text Box: General Manager’s Welcome

Welcome to the first edition of Albion Angle. I am delighted to have joined the Brisbane Greyhound Racing Club as General Manager on 20 March. Over the coming weeks, I will be spending a lot of time learning the operations of the Club and of the Albion Park Raceway. It will also be a pleasure to meet those of you in the industry that I don’t already know.
One of my key priorities will be communication with licensees and industry stakeholders.  It is for that reason, that the Club Office will be publishing Albion Angle every Thursday. You will find the information brief and to the point—but very relevant to those of you who race at and attend Albion Park.  Copies will be available Thursday at the kennels, at the tote on all racenights and from the Club Office at all times.  Eventually we will make it available on the Club’s website.
I would welcome feedback on this initial edition of Albion Angle and your suggestions on information that you need to know.

Run of the  Night
Congratulations to Diamond’s Harry and trainer John Pay for winning The Mad Chinaman’s Restaurant run of the night for Monday 20 March.
710m Races
With the Winter Carnival soon approaching we are making a priority of trying to run a 710m event on each Thursday night program. This can only occur if there are sufficient dogs nominated.  Sharon Darlington has been working hard this week to attract a field for Thursday 30 March—so if you have a stayer please nominate by next Monday 27 March at 8.30am with the GRA.
Text Box: Friday Maiden Heats
The Club has introduced 520m Maiden Heats to the Friday program. The final will be held the following Thursday with $1000 prizemoney to the winner, and will be a non-penalty event.

Trainers wanting to enter their greyhounds for 600m Maidens please nominate for the Monday night meetings.  Where we receive sufficient nominations, these events will be programmed.
