CEO’S UPDATE It has again been another very busy month for Greyhound Racing Victoria (GRV). Seven of GRV’s eleven stakeholder engagement workshops (covering nine topics) have now been held, generating comprehensive discussion and new thinking about a range of issues, and this is covered in more detail in this edition of Greyhound Monthly Victoria. One workshop topic, breeding and breeding controls, looked at how we can make sure that enough greyhounds will reach the tracks ready to race for the sport’s long term future, while also ensuring that as many retired greyhounds as possible will have the best rehoming opportunities. On this subject, GRV has also been studying a recent downward trend in litter numbers and the implications this has for future breeding controls. In other news, GRV is now conducting greyhound qualifying trials under full race conditions. Following consultation with participants, GRV Stewards and a full complement of club staff will now manage all Qualifying Trial meetings. Trials in the new format are being held at Ballarat and Cranbourne and GRV’s Racing Operations Team will continue to monitor the demand for such meetings and program future trials accordingly. GRV is also analysing the results of recent finish on lure trials and is considering the next steps in relation to finish on lure. On the subject of racing operations, I’m pleased to announce that Karen Lees has been appointed as GRV’s new Chief Steward for a two year period. You can read more about Karen and what she brings to the role in this issue. GRV is also planning to invest $34 million over five years in upgrading infrastructure across the State to improve racing operations, track safety and to further strengthen local clubs as multi-purpose community venues. To help drive this major capital works program, GRV has appointed David Straw as our new Senior Infrastructure Projects Manager. David started his project management career as an architect and has worked in the Victorian Department of Education and Training, the Cities of Whittlesea and Yarra and at RMIT, Deakin and Monash Universities and for several construction and project management companies. As part of this program, work has now started on a $1.8 million redevelopment of the Warrnambool Greyhound Racing Club with the first stage, installing a new, compliant electrical switchboard now underway. GRV has also appointed Craig Monigatti as the Club’s new manager, which is something of a homecoming for Craig, who grew up in the region and went to school in Warrnambool. Craig spent 14 years as Technology Support Manager and Operations Co-ordinator at Carlton Football Club, has a Bachelor of Applied Science and Management and is currently completing an MBA in Sports Management. GRV is also appointing an external administrator for Warrnambool and there will be an announcement about that soon. Looking ahead, some of the issues that GRV is currently focused on include consideration of the Report by the Special Commission of Inquiry into the Greyhound Racing Industry in New South Wales, developing new policies and programs based on the input from the Stakeholder Engagement Workshops and the 2016 Victorian Greyhound Awards to be held at Sandown in August. Despite recent challenges, there are many achievements over the past year that will be celebrated.

“I am conscious of providing a watchable show for viewers. I feel a bit more pressure when I am giving my tips on GRVextra because I am analysing one race so there is no room for error.” James’ talent was in full force when he ran the Punters Club on Warrnambool Cup night in May where he turned on-course punters $10 investment into a $46.20 return. When James isn’t tipping winners, calling races or tending to his greyhounds he enjoys a ‘wack at golf’ or the occasional snowboarding trip, but most of all he enjoys working around PROFILE his soon to be state-of-the-art greyhound property. “I wish there were longer days because it’s hard to get enough The Punter’s Punter sleep.

James is fast becoming the face of greyhound racing in Victoria - a trusted commentator, caller & tipster. From five years of age a passion for racing saw James trackside with his father on countless occasions. But it wasn’t greyhound racing that sparked his interest in race calling, rather a horse racing PlayStation game. “As a kid I used to call the races while I was playing the jockey in the game, from 10 years of age it became something I always wanted to do,” James explained. James’ dream ticket into the world of race calling came through RSN greyhound caller Paul Hammon. “I sent a video of me calling a race into Paul and he told me I had a lot of ability.” After 10 years of calling, James admits he still gets nervous although he has become a bit more relaxed. But he continues to run through the same rituals - down to the coloured connector textas he uses to decorate his form guide each meeting. Work through the binoculars and microphone during race meetings helped him prepare for the next step in his career, as a presenter on GRVextra - in front of camera, where he gives his tips in race previews on all Group 1 races and Country Cups.

GRV Ambassador
With a slender frame and explosive speed, star footballer Nick Dal Santo would seem to be the perfect match for Greyhound Racing Victoria. The North Melbourne veteran last month signed on as an ambassador with GRV, in a role that will aim at increasing awareness of major events and the thrill of owning a racing dog. Dal Santo has a long and accomplished career since he was drafted by St Kilda in 2001, having played more than 300 games for both the Saints and Kangaroos. Along the way he has had two top-three finishes in the Brownlow medal, played in three Grand Finals and has been named in the All-Australian team in 2005, 2009 and 2011. Dal Santo also has an affinity with rural and regional Victoria having grown up in Bendigo, right near the Bendigo Greyhound Racing Club. With 11 of GRV’s 13 tracks based in rural and regional Victoria, Dal Santo is a perfect fit as an ambassador for greyhound racing right 8 across the state.
