As of August 1, 2023, Preferred Box Draw (PBD) events will commence at selected NSW greyhound racing tracks as part of GWIC and GRNSW’s commitment to create a safer racing environment for greyhounds.
Preferred Box Draw events will be conducted at Dapto for 297m 5th Grade events commencing August 3, and also at Wentworth Park for 5th Grade 520m and Non-Graded 280m events commencing August 16.
Guidelines have been developed to provide industry awareness on how both GWIC and GRNSW intend to facilitate and manage Preferred Box Draw events from nomination stage through to the review process of greyhound traits subsequent to an event.
This will include:
• How and where to declare a greyhound’s trait at nomination stage?
• Who will be responsible for conducting and overseeing the box draws?
• How will greyhounds traits be assessed during an event?
• Who will be responsible for reviewing the greyhound’s trait post-race?
Please note that these guidelines may be modified by GWIC or GRNSW as required.
For further information, please contact GWIC on 13 49 42.
