The Queensland Greyhound code will benefit from a boost to prize-money and sustainability measures from tomorrow, 1 February 2018.
Racing Queensland announced a $12 million increase in prize-money and returns to participants earlier this month. Of the increase, the greyhound code receives $3 million which includes $800k for sustainability measures, an overall increase of 10% in prize money spread throughout all greyhound events, and an increase to the greyhound appearance fee to $40.
Racing Queensland CEO Dr Eliot Forbes said the increase in prize-money and other benefits to greyhound participants is recognition of its strong commercial performance of recent years.
