UPDATE ON HOOP ARM LURE

29/09/2016

 

Wednesday meetings at The Meadows will temporarily revert to the conventional straight lure arm from Wednesday 5 October 2016 while modification work is undertaken on the carriage system to better accommodate the hoop arm.

 

Work is currently underway across all Victorian greyhound tracks in preparation for the Hoop Arm introduction with some modifications required to the Lure Carriage and Rail systems as well as the Catching Pens and Catching Pen gates. Once all systems are satisfactory a detailed roll out plan will be announced, including a further update on when the hoop arm will be re-introduced at The Meadows.
