The Greyhound Racing NSW Hot Weather Racing Policy is designed to assist both clubs and participants to ensure that greyhounds are properly cared for in circumstances of hot weather conditions.
The Policy allows Stewards to approve a greyhound’s withdrawal from an event without penalty where:
1. The temperature is forecast to be above 38 degrees Celsius; and
2. A participant has no air conditioning facility available for transport; or
3. A participant has a journey exceeding an hour to get to the race track.
Greyhound Racing NSW Stewards also have the discretion that when the temperature rises above 40 degrees Celsius, or believe that it is likely to rise above 40, then they may abandon a meeting or races at a meeting.
If you have queries about the timing of race meetings for individual clubs please contact the club directly.
