Garrards Horse and Hound Winter Carnival Cup
The Club was delighted with the response to our VIP
Petfoods Gold Cup “Magic Night”. We had approximately 250 patrons at SILKS, and
many more downstairs, which was tremendous and the off-track entertainment was
non-stop. We appreciate the positive feedback we have received on the night and
look forward to having another successful Group 1 Final night on July 20
for the Final of the Garrards Horse and Hound Winter Carnival Cup – “The
Carnivale”.
Please show your support for our premier nights by bringing family and
friends to SILKS on Thursday 20 July.
At $32.50, with FREE ADMISSION it is a very affordable night out. Ph
3262 2044 for bookings.
BGRC Web Site
The Brisbane Greyhound Racing Club’s new website is
up and running. It has taken a great
deal of effort to bring the new site into operation. The Club would like to extend their thanks to Club Sponsor Dinky
Di Web Designs for the creation of our new web presence. The new site address is:
One of the great features of the site is the ever
changing features on the home page. So
far we have featured images and slide shows of the VIP Petfoods Gold Cup, the
Brandons QLD Derby, the Queensland Cup and the Dave Brett Memorial Maiden.
It is worth the visit just to see these features
alone and is possible through the contribution of Corey Pearce Photography in
supplying a vast array of excellent photographs to our highly creative
webmaster.
Interestingly, the data reports that we are now able
to receive on the website have shown that it has been viewed by not only
Australian users but also users from The USA, China, India, Hong Kong, New
Zealand, France, Switzerland and Great Britain.
National Sprint and Distance Championships
The Club is pleased to announce a further
strengthening of the sponsorship agreement with Dinky Di Web Designs, through
the incorporation of the naming rights to the 2006 National Sprint and Distance
Championships (QLD Division).
Nominations for the Dinky Di Web Designs National
Sprint (QLD) and Dinky Di Web Designs National Distance (QLD) close on 31 July
2006. Please note that Nationals written nomination forms will only be
accepted. These forms are available
from the Club Office.
Heats for both events will be held on 10 August
and the Finals on 17 August.
Grading Policy Amendments
Please note that the definitions of Sprint events
and Distance events will change from 1 July.
Distance Event means an event raced over a distance
of more than 590m.
Sprint Event means an event race over a distance of
not more than 590m.
If you are unsure as to what grade your greyhound
will be over the two distances we would encourage you to contact the GRAQ
Grading Department to clarify the grade.
The first Albion Park meeting to be graded under the
new policy was Monday 3 July.
July Programming
Trainers please note that the previously advised
programming changes come into effect from 1 July.
Mondays:
Week 1 & 2 each Month – Class 1 with existing
Monday prizemoney.
The remaining weeks will be Class 2 meetings.
Thursday: No
Change
Friday: Class
3 non-penalty
Class 3 Non-Penalty
From Friday 7 July, the Class 3 meetings at Albion
Park will be non-penalty meetings. Below is a quick reference guide on how the
grading will work for these events:
·
Greyhounds will be graded in the Non-Penalty
meetings based on their Class 3 grading as at 1 July 2006.
·
Greyhounds will not be penalised for a win at a
non-penalty meeting.
·
Greyhounds will NOT be able to use unplaced runs on
a non-penalty meeting towards the three consecutive unplaced runs required to
drop a grade.
·
They will be penalised for wins on other Class 3
tracks.
·
Any elevation or decrease (from wins or dropping a
grade from other Class 3 tracks) in a greyhound’s grade will affect its grade
on the Friday non-penalty meetings.
Level 3 Water Restrictions
Due to Level 3 water restrictions hoses around the track have been removed. Hoses are still available in the greyhound wash bays for washing down your dogs after trialling.
