Please note: New drop on starting boxes for Traralgon are designed to be lifted on and off the track using a pneumatic arm. Unfortunately, during the COVID lockdowns the manufacture and installation of the pneumatic arms have been substantially delayed. The new drop on starting boxes with pneumatic arm are expected to be delivered to Traralgon for use in early March 2022. In the meantime, the same drive on drop on starting boxes that are used at other Victorian greyhound racing tracks will be used at Traralgon.
GRV regulates the sport of greyhound racing in the state of Victoria under the Racing Act 1958 (Act), which includes setting standards and ensuring they are met by participants.
