“This is tremendous news for all participants in NSW and shows the value of great partners in your industry, such as Ladbrokes,” GRNSW Chief Executive Officer Tony Mestrov said.
“At a time when everyone across the world is struggling through COVID-19, this is wonderful news for our participants to have Ladbrokes sponsor a new series which will see an additional $20,000 a week go into their pockets, and significantly, all runners in the heats of the Super Series receive prizemoney.
“Greyhound racing in NSW has had a long and strong relationship with Ladbrokes both on and off the track, and a deal such as this strengthens the bond between Ladbrokes, GRNSW, and the entire greyhound racing industry in NSW.”
"Ladbrokes is a long-time supporter of the greyhound industry in NSW and we appreciate that a lot of participants are doing it tough through these unprecedented times," Ladbrokes Australia CEO, Dean Shannon said.
"It is a great credit to GRNSW and the clubs that they have been able to work collectively to ensure greyhound racing has continued via the regionalised model during this crisis. Similarly we are very appreciative of trainers and owners, who have ensured field sizes have been maintained, despite impacts to normal racing routines.
"We understand this has impacted the levels of prizemoney on offer and that is why we are very happy to support the Ladbrokes Super Series and Ladbrokes Maiden Series, which will provide a direct financial benefit to all starters, through the heats and finals, not just to the winners."
