Just three weeks remain before applications close for a slot in the 2022 Phoenix, to be run at The Meadows on 17 December.

The Phoenix is Victoria’s richest greyhound race, with prizemoney elevated to a whopping $1.65 million this year – including a life-changing first prize of $1 million.

Individuals and organisations are invited to apply to purchase a slot in the race at a cost of $100,000, with applications to close at 11:59pm on Friday 26 August 2022.

Prizemoney will be paid down to eighth place.

Former Premier of Victoria Dr Denis Napthine AO will again lead the Independent Assessment Panel, which will have the responsibility of selecting the eight successful slot holders.
