AUTHORITY PROVIDES “GREEN LIGHT” FOR GREYHOUNDS TO CATCH LURE AFTER A TRIAL




The Authority has approved a 3 month Trial, effective immediately, for Trials of four Greyhounds to “catch the lure” at the completion of the Trial.

The Trials are to be conducted in the presence of a Veterinarian who will examine the Greyhounds at the completion of the Trial to ensure there are no Animal Welfare issues.

To date, Dapto and Bathurst Greyhound Clubs have indicated a desire to undertake these Trials.

At the completion of the 3 months Trial period, the Authority will obtain feedback from Race Officials, Veterinarians, Trainers and Handlers and carefully consider its ongoing position in the matter.
