Q2 Parklands set to host debut meeting

Racing Queensland advises that the scheduled picnic meeting at Q2 Parklands on Thursday, May 8, will now be conducted as an evening metropolitan race meeting. 

To accommodate this change, the Q1 Lakeside meeting scheduled for the same evening will return to its standard daytime timeslot.

This decision follows the suitable testing of key racing infrastructure and an increase in the number of greyhounds being cleared to race at Q2 Parklands. 

Nominations for the meeting will open 9am on Friday, May 2, and close 9am on Tuesday, May 6.

RQ acknowledges that participants had been preparing to trial greyhounds at the scheduled picnic meeting for May 8. 

After consultation with the Queensland Greyhound Racing Club and the Queensland Racing Integrity Commission, trials will also be conducted following the Q2 Parklands race meeting on May 8.

Participants are encouraged to visit the QGRC for full details regarding trial bookings and scheduling.

Excitement continues to build for the 2025 Queensland Winter Greyhound Racing Carnival, which is scheduled to take place at The Q, showcasing the best of greyhound racing on Queensland’s newest premier track. Click here for more information.

Meanwhile, Albion Park will remain operational throughout May, as the Q Straight track commissioning works continue.
