CEO’s UpdateThe big news this month is that the GRV Board has signed off on an additional $2.84 million annually in prizemoney, effective October 1, which will take Victoria’s total prizemoney and other returns to participants to over $52 million across the year. Most of this prizemoney boost will go to provincial races and is very much aimed at supporting greyhounds who are starting their racing career and encouraging more participants to race at Provincial Level 2 instead of Tier 3 racing.

This increase has been generated by a rise in wagering revenue from both an expanded racing program and from more people discovering the excitement of greyhound racing while other sports were not active during COVID lockdown. This represents a substantial increase in overall prizemoney in Victoria. Another example of the depth and strength of our sport today was the great showing by Victorian dogs and trainers at the Greyhound Clubs Australia 2019-20 Awards on 20 September. I congratulate all the Victorian finalists and winners, especially David Burnett and Simon Told Helen for Greyhound of the Year and Anthony Azzopardi for Trainer of the Year.

In other good news, some COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted across Victoria, including the removal of the curfew which means we can now enjoy night racing again in Melbourne. The metropolitan clubs and GRV will soon be announcing more details about this, so stay tuned. COVID-19 protocols remain in place at all Victorian racing and trials, including mandatory face masks and social distancing, and you will still need permitted work permits when traveling to, from and within Melbourne. Trainers travelling to and from Melbourne for regional meetings are also advised to give themselves extra time as there may be extended delays at check points.

Looking ahead, track safety will continue to be a major focus for GRV and the clubs.

We met with a group of trainers referred by GOTBA to receive feedback around track conditions.

GRV has listened to the suggestions made in the meetings and has incorporated these into the Safe Racing program.

Our Safe Racing program remains a core priority and some new initiatives are being introduced including a joint GRV/GCV supported education and benchmarking program for track curators, further development of the pre-race diagnostic program and more GRV support and funding for track maintenance equipment.

We will also provide training for the stewards to ensure that they are well placed to make decisions about whether the track is in a fit state for safe racing and trialling. Construction of the new Traralgon track remains on schedule and we are considering options for other tracks such as drop on boxes, enhanced cambers and catching pen upgrades. Remedial track works at Sandown have been concluded and it is anticipated that Sandown will reopen for trialling and racing in October. GRV’s major works program will make it a priority to ensure Sandown’s long-term future as one of the world’s leading greyhound racing venues.

We are also really pleased with our GAP numbers through home delivery which have so far exceeded all expectations in providing a loyal greyhound friend for many people throughout the state.

I would like to remind you that as summer approaches, it is important you refresh your knowledge of GRV’s Hot Weather and Transport Policies which have had some minor changes this year. You can find out more at greyhoundcare.grv.org.au/policies-and-guidance and in this issue of the Monthly. Now is also a good time to start thinking about your fire management plans as well.

It has been a very testing time for everyone and I’d like to thank you all for your patience, understanding and co-operation in getting the sport through winter in great shape. Now that spring is here, we can enjoy more great racing this month with the TAB Great Chase Grand Final at The Meadows followed by the Geelong Cup and Hume Cup series.

While it is still too early to say I will see you at the track, hopefully that day is coming soon.

Injection of prize money funds into regional VictoriaThe GRV board has signed off an additional $2.84 million annually which will be directed into prize money throughout Victoria from 1 October, GRV Chair Peita Duncan has announced.

“This increase, along with three extra race meetings which we have already introduced, will see returns to participants of more than $52 million across the year and more investment into regional Victoria,” Ms Duncan said.

“Such an investment not only assists all our participants but also has a flow-on effect into businesses throughout regional Victoria where many of our participants work and live.

“We have 13 tracks across Victoria with 11 of these being in the regions. We employ more than 15,000 people – with most regionally based. At a time when we all need to come together as a wider community, we know this increase in prize money will have a positive impact across the state.”

Ms Duncan added that the increase was aimed at grassroots provisional racing which holds key broadcasting slots in our weekly program, and which provides the pathway to Metropolitan racing.

Total prize money for each Provincial Open race will rise to $2,725, Mixed 4/5 races will increase to $2,500, Grades 5-7 will go up to $2,360 and Maidens will be worth $2,005.

“This will significantly benefit greyhounds who are starting their racing career and support more participants to race at Provincial Level 2 instead of Tier 3 racing,” Ms Duncan said.

“Saturday twilight meetings have also been upgraded from Tier 3 to Provincial Level 2 meetings.

“Increasing Mixed 4/5 prizemoney will also deliver more returns for owners and trainers when their greyhounds are selected to compete in higher graded races.”

Ms Duncan said this announcement would further strengthen Victorian greyhound racing’s future as a world leader in the sport.

“GRV is committed to increasing returns to participants across all levels of racing,” Ms Duncan said.

“Having increased Tier 3 by $1.37 million (21.6 percent) since November 2017 we will again review Tier 3 in 2021.”

Simon Told Helen has since won a fourth Group 1 when taking out the Maturity Classic in the current racing season.

Racecaller reflects on introduction to coursingBY VICTORIA SHAW

In late January this year, I had the pleasure of hosting the National Coursing Association of Victoria’s Awards for 2019. A great night was had by all, award recipients, friends and family of coursing participants, volunteers and industry partakers alike all enjoyed a great opportunity to get together while delighting in a great evening of greyhound racing at Sandown Park.

However, not long after the awards night our lives were turned upside down.

COVID-19 impacted our immediate community and our entire nation in a way that none of us could have ever envisaged. Yet, despite being the most disruptive occurrence thrust upon Australian life since World War Two, the coronavirus also gave great reason for the greyhound racing community to soldier on. With administrative measures quickly put into place, greyhound racing continues to provide something for both the greyhound community and its fans to look forward to, including the coursing season for 2020.

At the time of the NCAV awards, I was certainly not expecting to be involved in the 2020 coursing season, but with delighted surprise, I received the call to broadcast several coursing meetings at Lang Lang, including the 2020 Waterloo Cup. It has always been a pleasure to host the NCAV awards, however without the first-hand experience of coursing made me feel that my input was somewhat deficient.

The meetings that I attended at Lang Lang were not entirely unscathed by coronavirus protocols. The lack of an audience was perhaps the most disappointing aspect of the pandemic’s impact on coursing meetings, in particular for those that take such pride in their beautiful dogs.

One enormously positive aspect of each coursing meeting that I attended, became obvious to me - how much the greyhounds loved their coursing!As I watched the greyhounds being presented to the slipper in readiness to course, the alacrity that so many of the animals displayed throughout each meeting was a delight to witness. With so many greyhounds wagging their tails with enthusiasm at the prospect of being set to pair off in the chase, the obvious joy of what the dogs were about to embark on transcended any lock down depression.

Congratulations to trainer Adele Powell and her kennel staff for their efforts in preparing Making Gravy, the victor of the 2020 Waterloo Cup, and all involved in running of this wonderful event, which has been in existence for 147 years.

Record-breaking Fernando a revolutionBY ANDREW COPLEY

Fernando Bale was named the 2019-20 Greyhound Clubs Australia Sire of the Year at the annual GCA awards on 20 September.

It was the second straight season Fernando Bale has received the prestigious award following a career on the racetrack which saw him land eight Group 1 wins and $1.29m in stakes.

“The Sire of the Year is always a really significant award for any stud dog to win, in my opinion,” proud studmaster, Paul Westerveld said.

Fernando Bale was inducted into GRV’s Hall of Fame 12 months ago for his achievements on and off the racetrack, and the collective performances of his offspring since that special moment has seen his star continue to rise.

His progeny amassed more than 5000 wins during the 2019-20 Racing Season, including 12 Group 1 victories and a record $16.2m in prize money.

Among his top performers during the season were Whiskey Riot and Sennachie, who captured five Group 1s between them and are now forging their own respective careers at stud, while his older progeny includes the likes of Tornado Tears, My Redeemer, Poke The Bear and Dyna Patty.

“For Fernando Bale’s offspring to be so successful at group level is a huge achievement,” Westerveld said.

“He has been producing pups that compete at the highest level from the word go, and it’s been non-stop ever since.”

Westerveld has a philosophy on what makes the seven-year-old son of Kelsos Fusileer (USA) and Chloe Allen such a phenomenal sire.

“He is renowned for producing pups with fantastic, easy going temperaments and I think the fact they aren’t overly big dogs, they really suit two turn racing, which is why his progeny have dominated metropolitan tracks,” Westerveld said.

“And the fact he is sired by an outcross has also contributed to his success at stud, and this hopefully enhances the breeding potential of his female offspring going forward.”

A young family based in Victoria’s south-east, the Westervelds are thrilled to have Fernando Bale among their small team of sires at Meticulous Lodge. They cherish every moment with him and take nothing for granted.

“We just take it day by because the future is never certain when you’re dealing with a sire’s fertility, but he’s still going strong and filling quotas. We are also fortunate to have a decent amount of storage vials put away for when the time comes that he retires from stud duties.”

“He is a beautiful dog at home who loves his routine. He’s very easy going, brilliant to handle and it’s just an honour for us to be able to look after one of the all-time greats every day,” Westerveld said.

After a racing career guided by Andrea Dailly that have many regarding him as the best ever, very few, if any greyhounds have burst on the Australian stud scene like Fernando Bale. May his success, and the accolades that go with it, continue.

Popular columnist lost to the sportBY ANDREW COPLEY

Victorian greyhound racing lost one of its great characters when experienced trainer Darryl Embling passed away in late August at age 64 after more than 50 years in the sport.

Darryl was a journalist for National Greyhound Form newspaper, penning the popular ‘Bushwacked’ articles, while he was also the anonymous writer behind the ‘Man In The Tree’ column, a must-read feature of the publication thanks to his humorous anecdotes and polarising views.

But there was much more Darryl, who grew up in Geelong before moving to Rokewood and then Cape Clear.

“As a teenager dad was a slipper for the Victorian Coursing Club in Geelong, when greyhounds coursed at the old Geelong thoroughbred track,” son Clay Morrison revealed.

“He loved his greyhounds and he loved coursing.”

“He was six foot six and was quite a handy basketballer as a junior, but he got more enjoyment out of training greyhounds so he ended up giving basketball away to concentrate on his dogs.”

Clay said Darryl was a caring person who would always put others - and his greyhounds - before his own wellbeing.

“He loved walking his dogs. He’d walking them every morning and night for at least 50 kilometres a week for many years, even if he was feeling sick or carrying an injury.”

“He could talk underwater with a mouthful of marbles – he once spoke to a wrong number that called the house for hours.”

“He was also into his music and was part of a group called Plasebo Cure, which released four albums and performed regularly in the Ballarat region. He would sing and play a number of instruments. One of the songs he wrote was called ‘My Greyhound Isn’t Grey’.”

Clay recalled an incident at the Ballarat greyhounds some years ago which typified Darryl’s easy-going nature.

“Although dad was a big man he never used his size to intimidate people. I remember being at the Ballarat greyhounds with him one night when I was quite young and someone was getting stuck into him about something he had written. Dad just sat back and listened, and the guy was getting angry and frustrated because dad wasn’t arguing back. In the end dad said ‘I apologise if I’ve offended you but it’s my job to report on things as I see them’, and he offered to buy the guy a cup of coffee.”

“That was dad. Even though he could talk under water with a mouth full of marbles, he would never force his views on anybody and was always happy to listen to other people’s opinions. He would never judge anyone and didn’t have a bad word to say about anybody.”

Darryl, you’ll be missed.

Darryl worked as a slipper for the Victorian Coursing Club from an early age.

GREYHOUND WELFARE AND RE-HOMING REPORTBY DR GAVIN GOBLE BVSC, GENERAL MANAGER, GREYHOUND WELFARE AND RE-HOMING

VACCINATIONS FOR GREYHOUNDSThe Code of Practice requires all greyhounds to have a current C5 vaccination. Please speak to your veterinarian about when your greyhounds are next due for a vaccination and ensure your Kennel Cough vaccine is up to date. Just a reminder that the vaccination requirements for acceptance into GAP are more specific, so please check with GRV if you are planning to get a vaccination for this purpose. These requirements are also on the GAP page of this magazine.

In addition to recording your greyhound’s vaccinations in its Greyhound Record, please also provide GRV with copies of your vaccination certificates for GRV to upload into FastTrack so there is a permanent record. This is particularly important if you are considering, or are already, breeding from your greyhound. These vaccination certificates are required to keep the Pink Card active.

GRV Hot Weather and Transport Policies have been updatedGRV reviews the Hot Weather and Transport policies every year after summer. The review this year identified some minor changes to both policies. These changes have been updated on our website and will have been communicated on FastTrack. In addition, all Clubs will be provided with a poster for them to place in the kennelling area, highlighting important temperatures relating to greyhound racing, trialling and transport. Please read these policies as they affect the management of race meetings, trials and transport where the air temperature is 32°C or above. For more information visit the GRV’s Care and Standards webpage https://greyhoundcare.grv.org.au/policies-and-guidance/. Please see below for a description and rationale for the changes.

HOT WEATHER POLICY CHANGES

Apart from some re-ordering and consolidation of clauses, removal of unnecessary clauses, addition of new text and clauses to provide clarity and alignment with the greyhound Code of Practice, the key changes from a participant perspective are as follows, noting that early kenneling remains unchanged for the 2020-21 summer.

a. Very hot days: Clause 31 provides additional protectionto greyhounds by clarifying how the ambienttemperature at the track should be measured when itexceeds 35°C and the appropriate action, noting thatthe BOM stations from which temperature forecasts arereceived are several kilometres from the tracks.

b. Penalty-free scratching: the penalty-free scratchingprovisions will continue during the 2020-21 season butclause 19 now states that taking advantage of penalty-free scratching is a breach of the policy. Hot weatherscratchings will be proactively monitored during thecoming summer season with a focus on monitoringindividual trainers’ scratching patterns.

c. Non-race day trialling in hot weather: Clause 37 hasbeen added to provide clubs with clarity of expectationsfor trialling sessions on days between 32 and 37.9°C.

TRANSPORT POLICY CHANGES

While air-conditioning of transport vehicles is mandatory during hot weather affected journeys, GRV has received feedback that some participants do not operate their air-conditioning systems while driving due to the mistaken belief that it is illegal to operate a petrol-powered generator during transport. This misconception has been addressed by adding additional wording to clause 15. Clause 16 has also been amended, to reduce the maximum internal temperature of a transport vehicle from 32°C to 30°C, and that to achieve this the air-conditioning will, in most cases, need to be turned on at least 30 minutes before greyhounds are placed in the vehicle or trailer.

Hot weather and fire season planningSummer is rapidly approaching. 2020 has seen a La Nina weather pattern during spring, bringing heavy rain and warm temperatures. This will produce a lot of vegetation and ultimately fuel load, so participants will need to begin to prepare for fire season. Now is the time to get your fire plans in order and avoid leaving things until the last minute. Start getting your property ready:

■ Prepare or review your fire plan, including evacuationoptions; if you choose to take your greyhounds with you,contact your local Municipal Council to find out which oftheir evacuation centres will allow animals and add theaddress and details to your plan.

■ Ensure lawns are kept short and regularly slash longgrass in surrounding paddocks, yards, kennel blocksand alongside slipping tracks etc.

■ On bigger properties, a clearing of about 10 metres ofwell-mown grass around your home and kennel block isadvisable.

■ Remove piles of fine fuels such as leaves, as it will probably be where embers will land and cause spot fires.

■ Empty gutters of leaves on your home, kennels and other buildings.

■ Make sure trees on your property are healthy, ideally trimmed to 2 metres above the ground, with no dead limbs and no vegetation underneath them.

■ Ensure your insurance is sufficient and current.

More information can be found at https://greyhoundcare.grv.org.au/health-and-well-being/emergency-planning/ and a comprehensive check list can help you prepare https://greyhoundcare.grv.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Animal_Welfare_Emergency_Planning_Checklist.pdf. The Department of Agriculture also has some excellent resources and advice on preparing your property and how to manage pets, horses and livestock during fires.

To assist participants with re-homing their greyhounds, spaces in the pre-entry assessment sessions are booked through Racing Services during office hours on 03 8329 1100 or by emailing [email protected].

All sessions for the next 2 months are listed on this page, with later dates released each month.

To be eligible for a pre-entry assessment your greyhound must:

■ have a current C5 vaccination as per the specific GAPVACCINATION REQUIREMENTS described on this pagegiven at least 10 days before the pre-entry assessment;and

■ not have been trained, trialled or raced for at least onemonth (preferably two months) prior to the testing day(“wind-down period”). This will increase the likelihoodof your greyhound passing the temperament test. The‘Racing to Retirement’ information booklet is availablethrough Racing Services or at: greyhoundcare.grv.org.au/retirement-from-racing.

Participants may be asked to provide a good quality, well fitted wire muzzle when entering a greyhound into GAP. Note: there in no fee for greyhounds being entered into GAP.

The principles of the GRV Hot Weather Policy also apply to days when greyhounds are accepted into GAP. For days when the temperature is forecast to be 32 degrees or above, entry sessions may be subject to a time change. For days when the temperature is forecast to be 38 degrees or above, entry sessions will be cancelled. GRV will notify participants by phone as soon as possible for all session changes and cancellations. Wherever possible, GRV will endeavour to replace cancelled sessions with new sessions in the local area.

Pre-entry Assessment Booking number: 03 8329 1100

Pre-entry Assessment email: [email protected]

GAP VACCINATION REQUIREMENTSYour greyhound must have had the following vaccinations:

■ Parvovirus, Distemper and Hepatitis (C3) within the last2½ years (or within the last 1 year if the last C3 wasgiven earlier than 12 months of age); and

■ Kennel Cough (both Bordetella and Parainfluenza)within the last 6 months where the Bordetellacomponent is given as an intra-nasal or oral vaccine.

The simplest method to achieve this is an injectable C3 vaccine plus the standard intra-nasal Kennel Cough vaccine. Note the GAP vaccination requirements are more specific than a standard injectable C5 vaccination given annually. If you or your veterinarian have any questions on these requirements, please contact GRV.
