Hey just wondering are you able to take pet greyhounds to the races?

Im adopting one tomorrow from the GAP and im heading to the races on wednesday in wangaratta, am i able to take him/her along?

I doubt it but just wanting to know for sure.


Thanks in advance

Races ? Are we talking horse racing ? If we are talking greyhounds, It wouldn't matter as you can park in the car park. And take the dog out on a lead for a leak.

I used to take a Labrador, (the racings dog travel mate) to all the tracks in Victoria. Between races used to empty her in the car park. The only time I got ticked off was at Warragul by a steward on night.

Im talking greyhound racing.

Going down for the day thought i could take him/her with me, not sure if im allowed to spectate with a dog though.

How is your greyhound Morgan?
I would like to foster/adopt greyhoundsb when I am older and have a more secure yard. I see them occasionally at the dogs home and they are lovely!

I wouldnt until you have learnt to handle a greyhound better. Once that lure starts up they are iron men. I take mine to trials but NEVER to a race meet.

I wouldn't think they are allowed. Unless of course your strap him up and make it look likes hes going to run! Lol

A greyhound that is not racing is not permitted on course, while a race meeting is on. In other words the dog will not be able to spectate. The thing I don't understand is why would you want to take a GAP dog/bitch to the track. No muzzle etc, not wanting to speak out of turn, a race track isn't the place for a GAP greyhound.

No I agree with you NP.
