Tabcorp and Greyhound Racing Victoria (GRV) have announced an extension to their longstanding partnership.

The agreement secures Tabcorp’s wagering arm, TAB, as GRV’s exclusive wagering partner until 2022.

The agreement includes TAB naming rights for Victoria’s biggest greyhound events including the Melbourne Cup Carnival, the Top Gun race series, the Australian Cup Carnival and the community-focused Great Chase.

The partnership extends to all 13 greyhound racing clubs across Victoria with TAB to have an extensive signage presence on track and exclusive digital rights.

“It’s a great outcome for Victorian greyhound racing and we’re very appreciative of TAB’s ongoing support for greyhound racing in this state,” Mr Clayton said.

”TAB will continue to sponsor The TAB Great Chase initiative, which has provided hundreds of thousands of dollars to disability groups across Victoria as well as unique and fun experiences for groups at our tracks.”
