Racing to Return to Newcastle’s Greyhound Track

Yes, it is confirmed that greyhound racing will return to the popular greyhound track of Newcastle, The Gardens. This Friday, the greyhound racing is going to return to The Gardens after the upgrade to the track.

The improvements to the catching pen area of the track were believed to be already completed. The greyhounds can already have a longer run-in at the completion of the races, the runners can have more time for pulling up.

The work on the new 400 meter boxes was said to be still in progress and that the Friday and Saturday meetings are going to use the original 413 meter starting point of the track. But most likely it will be done in time.

Bad weather indeed made it tough for the builders to work on the improvements but then everything must be completed early next week. And the builders would be doing what’s necessary for sure.

And just after the week off for the improvements, The Gardens will be back as a better track with its catching pen area improved.

The most notable thing with the return of The Gardens on track is the program it will offer that will feature appearance in race seven, the Forsythes Stake, of Velocity Cloud. The new 515 meter track record holder will try in the middle distance course of 600 meters of course for champion trainer Jason MacKay. The last time the greyhound was at The Gardens, she managed to record a breathtaking 29.23 for the 515 meter course. She surprised everyone present with her time, actually eclipsing that of Group One winner Knocka Norris.

Velocity Cloud is owned by the Velocity Lodge syndicate. And she is managed by Steve Williams, Queensland businessman who has been greatly involved with both the sunshine state and greyhound rearing property at Neath.
