Attention trainers, a hearing aid was found near the 515m boxes at The Gardens tonight. If you're the owner, you can contact The Gardens on 49515842 after 9.00am Monday.

Yesterday saw the running of our latest Ladbrokes Monthly bonus race, a 515m maiden won very impressively by the Peter Lagogiane trained Knighthood. Until the heats the week before, the red fawn son of Barcia Bale was possibly the country's best maiden having been runner up to Feral Franky throughout the Richmond maiden series in June. He soon shook off the tag last Friday in the heats where he won in a very impressive 29.66 seconds, only to really put the foot down yesterday in running 29.36 seconds. Surprisingly, this was not the quickest time of the day. That honour also went one of Pete's charges in last year's Million Dollar Chase winner Mystic Riot who relished the drop in grade to just edge out the kennel mate for time honours with a fast run of 29.33 seconds. No doubt Pete will be back up the highway to The Gardens in August to contest The Black Top and other feature races, not to mention this year's Million Dollar Chase. Well done to Pete and his team. ... See more

As you may be aware, the niece of popular Tamworth greyhound people Tony & Robyn Atkins had her life shattered when 3 of her children lost their life in a tragic house fire at Singleton last week. Local trainer Margaret Bright has begun a fundraiser which The Gardens are honored to assist with. Still in the early stages, this will consist of raffles, donations and possibly an auction. As well as the loss of 3 children, the family also lost everything they owned in the fire so we are looking for anything which may help them to rebuild their lives. Newcastle Greyhounds would like to kick this off with a donation of $2000.00 and would encourage everyone to contribute anything you can to help this young family attempt to recover from this tragic event. We will continue to keep all updated as we have more information. Thank you. ... See more

Tonight saw the running of our latest Ladbrokes Monthly bonus race, a 600m Non Graded, won very convincingly by That's Lil Vicki. Trained by master mentor Dave Irwin at Warragai Creek on the far North coast, the daughter of Dyna Double One took her overall record to a very impressive 17 wins and 3 placing from only 28 starts. Tonight was the second time Dave made the 5 hour road trip in 8 days as last Friday he also won what turned out to be a prelude for tonight's race. Time for tonight's race was a quick 34.44 secs compared to last week's 34.96 secs. Owned by the Central Coast Butler Butler syndicate That's Lil Vicki is their first foray into greyhound racing and were all trackside tonight to see the win. Congratulations to all concerned. ...

The Raelee Shearer trained Magic Mustang won race 6 today named the "HAPPY RETIREMENT RUSTY MEMORIES STAKE". The race was in honour of the great old campaigner who recently retired due to injury.

Please note that stewards have advised that trainers must have as catcher for the 272m races. Failure to do so, may result in a penalty.

Attention owners and trainers. GRNSW have advised that they will consider running 272m races at The Gardens. This will only be if there is insufficient noms for the other distances to fill the meetings. That is, all other distances will be considered first, so don't make the mistake of only nominating for the 272m as they will only be considered as a last resort to fill the meeting. This is something that we have been looking at for some months so we can have as many races as possible each meeting. GRNSW will also continue to program a monthly 272m race for dogs over 5 years of age. ... See more
