Greyhound Racing Victoria (GRV) celebrates the legacy of Victorian Bred Greyhounds, offering a platform for these dogs to shine in the racing world. VicBred greyhounds, identified by their ear brand starting with the letter ‘V,’ are the pride of the state’s breeding program.
VicBred greyhounds enjoy exclusive bonuses and opportunities to compete in selected races. The bonus prize money, split between breeders and owners, adds an exciting incentive to these prestigious events.
Feature events like Maiden and Restricted Win class races cater specifically to VicBred greyhounds. These events, comprising heats and finals, showcase the talent and prowess of these locally bred dogs, fostering a spirit of competition and excellence.
Among these events, the Pink Diamond series stands out as a highlight in the Australian greyhound racing calendar. Held annually in June, this series offers a rich platform for Victorian breeders and their greyhounds to excel, with 12 feature finals culminating in a spectacular night of racing.
GRV’s commitment to the industry extends beyond racing, with initiatives like the Greyhound Adoption Program (GAP) promoting the welfare and adoption of retired racing greyhounds. The program provides a second chance for these incredible athletes to find loving homes post-retirement.
GRV’s online platforms, including Watchdog and Fasttrack, offer a comprehensive suite of services for participants and enthusiasts. From live race streaming to registration and finance management, these portals cater to the diverse needs of the greyhound racing community.
The integrity and welfare of greyhounds remain paramount in GRV’s operations. Strict regulations, policies, and initiatives like the Greyhound Care standards ensure the well-being and ethical treatment of these magnificent animals throughout their racing and post-racing lives.
As the greyhound racing landscape evolves, GRV continues to uphold its vision and strategic priorities, working collaboratively with industry stakeholders to drive innovation and sustainability. The industry consultative group and regulatory approach reflect GRV’s commitment to transparency and best practices.
From the thrill of the racetrack to the joy of adoption, GRV’s multifaceted approach to greyhound welfare and racing underscores its pivotal role in shaping the future of the sport. As Victorian Bred Greyhounds continue to make their mark, GRV remains a steadfast advocate for excellence, integrity, and compassion within the industry.
