Group 1 Brisbane Cup winner Hasten Slowly was named the TAB Queensland Greyhound of the Year last night at the Kedron-Wavell Services Club.

Hasten Slowly is prepared by former Queensland trainer Angela Langton, who was on hand to accept the prestigious title at the 2019 TAB Queensland Greyhound Awards.

In total, 25 awards were presented on the night, which acknowledged the remarkable achievements of greyhound racing participants across the state throughout 2018.

Racing Queensland CEO Brendan Parnell said 2018 had been another successful year for the sport, which included the introduction of the TAB Origin Greyhound Series and major prize money increases.

“Greyhound racing has gone ahead in leaps and bounds and I wish to congratulate all stakeholders for working collectively to grow the sport in Queensland over the past 12 months,” Mr Parnell said.

“RQ will continue to work closely with our wagering partners and major sponsors of this event, TAB, to realise further benefits for the code.”

Brisbane Greyhound Racing Club CEO Luke Gatehouse congratulated all winners on the night, including Brisbane trainer of the Year Steven Scott and the connections of Brisbane Greyhound of the Year, Cosmo Bill.

“On behalf of all at the Brisbane Greyhound Racing Club I would like to congratulate all winners and thank event major sponsors, TAB, for their continued commitment to greyhound racing,” he said.
