CHANGES TO MONDAY NIGHT TRIALS

Beginning Monday 9th December we will be making the following changes to our trial session.

272m trials.

The normal 272m trials will be run directly after the 272m puppy trials. As there is not normally many 272m trials, we believe it makes sense to run them all together. We will then run 600m, 515m and finally the 400m.

Follow on trials.

After all the puppy and normal trials, we will be holding follow on trials for those trainers interested. Tickets can be bought the same as normally for Monday trials, either booked and paid for by phone or at the trials prior to 6.30pm. Running order for follow on trials will be 600m, 515m, 400m and then 272m. Cost of the follow on trials will be $15.00.

We will also be conducting a review of the Tuesday trial session shortly. ... See more

Attention owners and trainers, please see following details on upcoming feature races.

2019 Newcastle Cup.

715m listed event. Heats Friday 6th December with final Friday 13th December with final prize money as below.

A reminder owners and trainers that the race meeting next Friday is a day meeting.

Today saw the running of our latest Ladbrokes Monthly bonus race with $6000.00 to the winner. The final of the 600m series was won by the Sam Sultana trained Drip Dry.

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

Time for tonight's race was a quick 34.44 secs compared to last week's 34.96 secs.

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. In 89 starts Rusty won 29 races and also collected another 24 place cheques with over $66k in career prize money winning races from every box. Trained by Brandy Hill conditioner Mark Davidson for the Punters HQ Syndicate, he won 14 races at The Gardens including times of 22.70, 29.66 and 34.83 over each distance. The red brindle son of Barcia Bale & Midnight Capers was runner up in last year's Gardens GOTY. A presentation to the winning connections was made by Marks wife Mel after the race.
