HYBRID RACE MEETINGS - 7TH JUNE 2019 ONWARDS

01/04/2020
GRV will increase the number of 'Hybrid' race meetings from Friday 7th June onwards with the aim to better utilise the current active greyhound racing population. A 'Hybrid' meeting is a Provincial Full Stakes meeting with advertised rank limit events (Eg. 250+ Ranking).

The announcement comes as the total number of nominations for Provincial Full Stakes meetings has continued to decline in recent months and 'hybrid' meetings allow for greyhounds of lesser ability to compete against greyhounds of a similar level for full stakes prizemoney.

From 1 Mach 2019, Horsham and Warrnambool have conducted a regular 'hybrid' meetings along with 250+ Rank Limit events being programmed at Sale, Sandown (SAP) and The Meadows (MEP). 

The new 275+ Rank Limit events will now be programmed at Healesville, Warragul, Ballarat, Cranbourne, Shepparton, Bendigo and Geelong.

All Rank Limit races at provincial venues will be single stage events, while The Meadows (MEP) and Sandown (SAP) will continue to conduct heats and finals of these events, with the finals conducted a week later at the MEP/SAP meeting.

A Grade 5 Non-Penalty Rank Limit event and Restricted Win (1-3 Wins) Rank Limit event will be advertised at all Provincial Full Stakes meetings with the distance alternating on a weekly basis. 

**Please note if sufficient nominations for the regular program are received, the Rank Limit events will be the last races added to the program. Preference will be given to Provincial Full Stakes graded races**

For further information please email graders@grv.org.au or if participants require assistance with nominations please contact Racing Services on (03) 8329 1100.

BOXING ORDER AS OF 2 APRIL 2020

01/04/2020

The Stewards had recently changed the boxing process to single file (1-8), in order to meet Government expectations on social distancing under COVID-19 and ensure the continuum of racing, at the time.

Since then, the Stewards have reviewed the 8-wave model and sought further clarifications and advice on the aspects of the 4-wave model (which is the Stewards preference) that were flagged.  

As a result, the Stewards feel confident, that with the support and engagement of participants, that we can met our social distancing obligations under the 4-wave mode 

Therefore, as of 2 April 2020, the Stewards direct under GAR 51 (10) that the boxing process across Victoria will revert to the 4-wave model; that being 1 & 5 boxed first, followed by 3 & 7, followed by 2 & 6, followed by 4 & 8.

Participants must strictly adhere to a 1.5m minimum distance between each other both before and after boxing for this to work. After boxing, handlers are expected to exit the area via the rear or side door of the shelter and maintain their 1.5m distance from others, at all times.

We thank everybody for their anticipated assistance with this so we can continue to function greyhound racing successfully.
